CVE-2000-0535
OpenSSL 0.9.4 and OpenSSH for FreeBSD do not properly check for the existence of the /dev/random or /dev/urandom devices, which are absent on FreeBSD Alpha systems, which causes them to produce weak keys which may be more easily broken.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.44%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
