Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2000-0387 is an old local file-overwrite issue in the makelev program included with the golddig game from the FreeBSD ports collection. A local user could overwrite arbitrary files. The public data does not identify affected versions, privilege requirements, patches, or real-world exploitation.
Executive priority
Low to moderate priority unless legacy FreeBSD systems with local multi-user access are still in use. Prioritize inventory and removal of unnecessary software because source data is sparse and no active exploitation is documented.
Technical view
The CVE description states that makelev in golddig from FreeBSD ports allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files. No CVSS, CWE, affected CPEs, references, or vendor remediation details are provided in the supplied CVE data. CISA KEV status is false in the source bundle.
Likely exposure
Likely limited to systems that installed the golddig FreeBSD port and expose makelev to local users. Exposure is unlikely on systems without this game/port installed. Exact affected versions are not provided.
Exploitation context
The issue is local, not described as remote. Sources do not state active exploitation, public exploit availability, or whether elevated privileges are involved. Treat impact as uncertain until local permissions and vendor history are verified.
Researcher notes
Evidence is thin: the CVE record gives only a short description and no affected version range, patch reference, CVSS, or CWE. Further research should focus on FreeBSD ports history and archived advisories before assigning impact or closure criteria.
Mitigation direction
- Check FreeBSD ports or vendor guidance for historical fixes or removal guidance.
- Remove golddig if it is not operationally required.
- Restrict local user access on systems where golddig is installed.
- Review permissions around makelev and writable target paths.
Validation and detection
- Inventory FreeBSD systems for the golddig port or package.
- Confirm whether the makelev program exists and is accessible to local users.
- Review package metadata against FreeBSD ports history or vendor advisories.
- Check file integrity records for unexpected overwrites on exposed systems.
