This advisory describes seven critical FreeBSD vulnerabilities across installer utilities, kernel interfaces, and sandboxing modules — most notably an over‑the‑air RCE via unsafe Wi‑Fi SSID handling that can execute commands as root and multiple local kernel privilege escalations (stack overflow, use‑after‑free, ptrace validation flaws) alongside sandbox bypasses in libcasper, cap_net, and FUSE; administrators are urged to apply official patches or binary updates and reboot immediately as no reliable workarounds exist.
