<![CDATA[Is pfSense vulnerable to GHOST (CVE-2015-0235)]]>Hey guys,

Does anyone know if pfSense vulnerable to "GHOST" CVE-2015-0235 and if so is there a patch out for it?

Since pfSense is built off of FreeBSD I am assuming its not ..because freebsd's forum has a post saying its not vulnerable.. but I'd still like to know just in case. (https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/is-freebsd-vulnerable-to-ghost.50166/)

Thanks!

With its Linux emulation, it seems it is (or might be), but that isn't something we use nor include.

Sooo after looking at the freebsd man page for objdump, I think this is what I want…

It doesn't look like glibc to me, but this is all new.  ;)

#/lib/libc.so.6

This will report the version information.

pfsense shell doesn't seem to work this way.

BTW in pfsense it seems to be /lib/libc.so.7

If so then you would want to know what and how it was called.

I could probably figure this out in RH, but I don't know BSD enough yet to search the system. But lets see…
