FreeBSD and glibc vulnerability

“A nasty vulnerability has been made public today concerning Glibc’s dynamic loader that can lead to full root privileges being obtained by local users. This affects Linux distributions of the past two years”

FreeBSD does not use glibc and has it’s own libc system that is not affected by this vulnerability.

Even the Linux Binary Compatibility package emulators/linux_base-c7 should be safe according to https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2023-4911
