Descriptions

The geli encryption provider 7 before r239184 on FreeBSD 10 uses a weak Master Key, which makes it easier for local users to defeat a cryptographic protection mechanism via a brute-force attack.

Geli Encription Provider v7 anterior a r239184 on FreeBSD v10 usa una clave máster débil, lo que provoca que sea fácil para usuarios locales saltarse el mecanismo de protección criptográfico a través de un ataque por fuerza bruta.
