What it is about
FreeBSD ist ein Open Source Betriebssystem aus der BSD Familie und gehört damit zu den Unix Derivaten. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann eine Schwachstelle in FreeBSD OS ausnutzen, um einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen.
Under what conditions?
Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.
What can happen in the worst case
An attacker could use the vulnerability to
- einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen
Am I affected?
