Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The bsdinstall installer in FreeBSD 10.x before 10.1 p9, when configuring full disk encrypted ZFS, uses world-readable permissions for the GELI keyfile (/boot/encryption.key), which allows local users to obtain sensitive key information by reading the file.
