How to fix?

There is no fixed version for freebsd.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. The kernel in FreeBSD 4.x to 4.11 and 5.x to 5.4 does not properly clear certain fixed-length buffers when copying variable-length data for use by applications, which could allow those applications to read previously used sensitive memory.
