opiepasswd in One-Time Passwords in Everything (OPIE) in FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p22 through 6.1-STABLE before 20060322 uses the getlogin function to determine the invoking user account, which might allow local users to configure OPIE access to the root account and possibly gain root privileges if a root shell is permitted by the configuration of the wheel group or sshd.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-1283 is a local privilege-risk issue in FreeBSD’s OPIE password tooling. A logged-in local user may be able to configure OPIE access for root because opiepasswd identifies the caller insecurely. Business urgency is mainly for legacy FreeBSD systems still using OPIE. Exposure is limited to old FreeBSD systems in the stated version range with OPIE/opiepasswd present. Modern systems are unlikely affected unless they preserve vulnerable legacy FreeBSD branches or unpatched images. Prioritize if legacy FreeBSD systems remain in production, especially multi-user hosts or systems allowing SSH access. If no affected FreeBSD/OPIE deployments exist, priority is low. Mitigation focus: Review FreeBSD-SA-06:12 and apply the vendor-recommended update or patch.; Retire or isolate unsupported FreeBSD versions where patching is not practical.; Disable or restrict OPIE if it is not required..
