This is a little information leak. This bug(?) is not dangerous, but
normal user can see all process on the box using ex. /bin/ps;

Affected Systems:
FreeBSD :possible all
OpenBSD :don't known
Linux :don't known
Other :don't known

0x02 Practical:

(I don't use /proc.)

FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE (SILENT) #1: Sun Jan 5 00:10:51 GMT 2003

Welcome to FreeBSD!

-p Display information associated with the specified process ID.

0x03 Conclusion:

I hope it is good idea to protect all process information
(any way, for what We need kern.ps_showallprocs?)

[cache@silent][ttyv1] ~> cat info.sh
#!/bin/sh
pid=0;
while x=0; do
/bin/ps -auxwwwp $pid | /usr/bin/grep $pid;
pid=`expr $pid + 1`;
done

--- cut ---

See out.log how it works.
