+=== Capsicum and Bhyve Code Audit
+
+Contact: Ed Maste <[email protected]>
+Contact: Pierre Pronchery <[email protected]>
+
+With the support of the link:https://alpha-omega.dev/[Alpha-Omega project], the FreeBSD Foundation undertook code audits of two important subsystems - the bhyve hypervisor, and the Capsicum sandboxing framework.
+In addition to uncovering vulnerabilities in these systems to correct, the audits look to identify classes of vulnerabilities and/or suboptimal coding practices that we can look to address across the project.
+
+The Foundation interviewed several firms, and selected Synacktiv to perform the audit.
+A number of issues with critical and high severity were identified, which have been fixed as documented in security advisories:

+
+Fixes are in progress for a number of lower-severity issues.
+The code audit report will be shared in the near future, after issues above a severity threshold have been addressed.
+The FreeBSD Foundation will also publish a report including commentary on the impact of the Synacktiv code audit report, classes of vulnerabilities identified, and lessons learned.
