slashem-tty in the FreeBSD Ports Collection is installed with write permissions for the games group, which allows local users with group games privileges to modify slashem-tty and execute arbitrary code as other users, as demonstrated using a separate vulnerability in LTris.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old FreeBSD Ports issue concerns unsafe file permissions on slashem-tty. A local user already in the games group could modify that program and potentially run code as another user. The source bundle does not identify remote exposure, CVSS severity, or active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to legacy FreeBSD systems that installed slashem-tty from Ports and retained group-writable permissions for the games group. Systems without slashem-tty, without the games group access path, or with corrected permissions are unlikely to be affected. Treat this as a legacy local privilege issue. It is not an internet-facing emergency based on the provided evidence, but it should be closed during Unix hardening, legacy FreeBSD review, or any investigation involving untrusted local users. Mitigation focus: Remove slashem-tty where it is not needed.; Restrict games group membership to trusted local users only.; Correct ownership and permissions so games cannot write to slashem-tty..
