The bsdinstall installer in FreeBSD 10.x before 10.1 p9, when configuring full disk encrypted ZFS, uses world-readable permissions for the GELI keyfile (/boot/encryption.key), which allows local users to obtain sensitive key information by reading the file.

The setlogin function in FreeBSD 8.4 through 10.1-RC4 does not initialize the buffer used to store the login name, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a call to getlogin, which returns the entire buffer.

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.
