CVE-2000-0535: Freebsd

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 1.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

OpenSSL 0.9.4 and OpenSSH for FreeBSD do not properly check for the existence of the /dev/random or /dev/urandom devices, which are absent on FreeBSD Alpha systems, which causes them to produce weak keys which may be more easily broken.

Affected products

• Freebsd Freebsd: version 4.0 only; version 5.0 only
• OpenSSL OpenSSL: version 0.9.4 only
