Affected versions
- liboqs < 0.12.0
By system
0 still vulnerable, 2 fixed. Where VuXML applies (FreeBSD, DragonFly, FreeBSD's derivatives) a port is vulnerable while its version is in a range; pkgsrc says itself whether it lists a CVE of this advisory; OpenBSD and MidnightBSD keep no list this site reads, so their row is only an estimate: FreeBSD's ranges applied to upstream's version.
| System | Port | Version | State | Fixed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DragonFly | security/liboqs | 0.12.0 | fixed | |
| NetBSD | security/liboqs | 0.15.0 | not listed | |
| FreeBSD | security/liboqs | 0.16.0 | fixed | (576 days after) |
