When a module of type "hostuuid" is provided by the loader,
prison0_init strips any trailing whitespace and ASCII control
characters by (a) adjusting the buffer length, and (b) zeroing out
the characters in question, before storing it as the system's
hostuuid.
The buffer length adjustment was correct, but the zeroing overwrote
one byte higher in memory than intended -- in the typical case,
zeroing one byte past the end of the hostuuid buffer. Due to the
layout of buffers passed by the boot loader to the kernel, this will
be the first byte of a subsequent buffer.
This was *probably* harmless; prison0_init runs after preloaded kernel
modules have been linked and after the preloaded /boot/entropy cache
has been processed, so in both cases having the first byte overwritten
will not cause problems. We cannot however rule out the possibility
that other objects which are preloaded by the loader could suffer from
having the first byte overwritten.
Since the zeroing does not in fact serve any purpose, remove it and
trim trailing whitespace and ASCII control characters by adjusting
the buffer length alone.

FreeBSD Source:
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
