CVE-2015-1415

11
FAUCET Score

CVE-2015-1415 describes a vulnerability in the bsdinstall installer for FreeBSD 10.x before 10.1 p9, specifically when configuring full disk encrypted ZFS. The installer incorrectly sets world-readable permissions for the GELI keyfile (/boot/encryption.key), allowing local users to access sensitive key information. This vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.1, indicating a low severity. It requires local access (AV:L) and low attack complexity (AC:L), with the primary impact being a compromise of confidentiality (C:P) due to the exposure of the encryption key. There is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. The vulnerability has received minimal community attention, with no social media mentions or media coverage.
