FreeBSD Security Advisory - A function extracting the length from type-length-value encoding is not properly validating the submitted length. A remote user could cause, for example, an out-of-bounds read, decoding of unrelated data, or trigger a crash of the software such as bsnmpd resulting in a denial of service.
6ef4969cfc02cf46cf589e659797306bFreeBSD Security Advisory - If a process attempts to transmit rights over a UNIX-domain socket and an error causes the attempt to fail, references acquired on the rights are not released and are leaked. This bug can be used to cause the reference counter to wrap around and free the corresponding file structure. A local user can exploit the bug to gain root privileges or escape from a jail.
1a3189674b2fd461c7cc9af0c29d8185FreeBSD Security Advisory - The pci_xhci_device_doorbell() function does not validate the 'epid' and 'streamid' provided by the guest, leading to an out-of-bounds read. A misbehaving bhyve guest could crash the system or access memory that it should not be able to.
71bf823754b425dc351c08e498f7d8aeFreeBSD Security Advisory - System calls operating on file descriptors obtain a reference to relevant struct file which due to a programming error was not always put back, which in turn could be used to overflow the counter of affected struct file. A local user can use this flaw to obtain access to files, directories, sockets etc. opened by processes owned by other users. If obtained struct file represents a directory from outside of user's jail, it can be used to access files outside of the jail. If the user in question is a jailed root they can obtain root privileges on the host system.
17ac53321b9a37616cc3344652d76b23FreeBSD Security Advisory - Due to insufficient initialization of memory copied to userland in the components listed above small amounts of kernel memory may be disclosed to userland processes. A user who can invoke 32-bit FreeBSD ioctls may be able to read the contents of small portions of kernel memory. Such memory might contain sensitive information, such as portions of the file cache or terminal buffers. This information might be directly useful, or it might be leveraged to obtain elevated privileges in some way; for example, a terminal buffer might include a user-entered password.
5736cbc3b6e4753872fa443e695addc6FreeBSD Security Advisory - The code which handles a close(2) of a descriptor created by posix_openpt(2) fails to undo the configuration which causes SIGIO to be raised. This bug can lead to a write-after-free of kernel memory. The bug permits malicious code to trigger a write-after-free, which may be used to gain root privileges or escape a jail.
bb73159089c28abc1e386b3526667139FreeBSD Security Advisory - Insufficient validation of environment variables in the telnet client supplied in FreeBSD can lead to stack-based buffer overflows. A stack-based overflow is present in the handling of environment variables when connecting via the telnet client to remote telnet servers. This issue only affects the telnet client. Inbound telnet sessions to telnetd(8) are not affected by this issue. These buffer overflows may be triggered when connecting to a malicious server, or by an active attacker in the network path between the client and server. Specially crafted TELNET command sequences may cause the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking telnet(1).
ab448af83d8c939a666a34e2fc68c7f5FreeBSD Security Advisory - A bug causes up to three bytes of kernel stack memory to be written to disk as uninitialized directory entry padding. This data can be viewed by any user with read access to the directory. Additionally, a malicious user with write access to a directory can cause up to 254 bytes of kernel stack memory to be exposed. Some amount of the kernel stack is disclosed and written out to the filesystem.
46094c4f37df1255acbd646ec82e3d07FreeBSD Security Advisory - With certain inputs, iconv may write beyond the end of the output buffer. Depending on the way in which iconv is used, an attacker may be able to create a denial of service, provoke incorrect program behavior, or induce a remote code execution. iconv is a libc library function and the nature of possible attacks will depend on the way in which iconv is used by applications or daemons.
7b79e911c86a0f9ff912dd1aa191a5f3FreeBSD Security Advisory - While processing acknowledgements, the RACK code uses several linked lists to maintain state entries. A malicious attacker can cause the lists to grow unbounded. This can cause an expensive list traversal on every packet being processed, leading to resource exhaustion and a denial of service. An attacker with the ability to send specially crafted TCP traffic to a victim system can degrade network performance and/or consume excessive CPU by exploiting the inefficiency of traversing the potentially very large RACK linked lists with relatively small bandwidth cost.
61bd1985fd9c500e680146f09bfc02c8Netflix has identified several TCP networking vulnerabilities in FreeBSD and Linux kernels. The vulnerabilities specifically relate to the minimum segment size (MSS) and TCP Selective Acknowledgement (SACK) capabilities. The most serious, dubbed _"SACK Panic_," allows a remotely-triggered kernel panic on recent Linux kernels. There are patches that address most of these vulnerabilities. If patches can not be applied, certain mitigations will be effective.
2c46702ff7e7c931dd0a108fe8cfe05dThis Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability in the FreeBSD run-time link-editor (rtld). The rtld unsetenv() function fails to remove LD_* environment variables if __findenv() fails. This can be abused to load arbitrary shared objects using LD_PRELOAD, resulting in privileged code execution.
8389e3a76ad8302ffe4213d460a38debFreeBSD Security Advisory - On some Intel processors utilizing speculative execution a local process may be able to infer stale information from microarchitectural buffers to obtain a memory disclosure. An attacker may be able to read secret data from the kernel or from a process when executing untrusted code (for example, in a web browser).
f3d49ad33dba5d63cb9cccec7a4b379eFreeBSD Security Advisory - Multiple vulnerabilities exist in the hostapd(8) and wpa_supplicant(8) implementations.
71ae117c46b8fba957049dd0f7eb8d5aThis Metasploit module exploits a vulnerability in the FreeBSD kernel, when running on 64-bit Intel processors. By design, 64-bit processors following the X86-64 specification will trigger a general protection fault (GPF) when executing a SYSRET instruction with a non-canonical address in the RCX register. However, Intel processors check for a non-canonical address prior to dropping privileges, causing a GPF in privileged mode. As a result, the current userland RSP stack pointer is restored and executed, resulting in privileged code execution.
3c4bc514cf25ebc9c86255e4a4f4d06eFreeBSD Security Advisory - Insufficient bounds checking in one of the device models provided by bhyve(8) can permit a guest operating system to overwrite memory in the bhyve(8) processing possibly permitting arbitrary code execution. A guest OS using a firmware image can cause the bhyve process to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host as root.
7dc5a9cc50e7bfcc59073a947a869ea7FreeBSD Security Advisory - Insufficient and improper checking in the NFS server code could cause a denial of service or possibly remote code execution via a specially crafted network packet. A remote attacker could cause the NFS server to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the server.
c429bab0bdb3143934610a88f982eccdFreeBSD Security Advisory - Insufficient validation was performed in the ELF header parser, and malformed or otherwise invalid ELF binaries were not rejected as they should be. Execution of a malicious ELF binary may result in a kernel crash or may disclose kernel memory.
00b792f169afd323a3ed205a6d9a506dFreeBSD Security Advisory - A researcher has notified us of a DoS attack applicable to another operating system. While FreeBSD may not be vulnerable to that exact attack, we have identified several places where inadequate DoS protection could allow an attacker to consume system resources. It is not necessary that the attacker be able to establish two-way communication to carry out these attacks. These attacks impact both IPv4 and IPv6 fragment reassembly. In the worst case, an attacker could send a stream of crafted fragments with a low packet rate which would consume a substantial amount of CPU. Other attack vectors allow an attacker to send a stream of crafted fragments which could consume a large amount of CPU or all available mbuf clusters on the system. These attacks could temporarily render a system unreachable through network interfaces or temporarily render a system unresponsive. The effects of the attack should clear within 60 seconds after the attack stops.
6d1a3e8fec6cb509fd14501d91ac75b5FreeBSD Security Advisory - When using WPA2, EAPOL-Key frames with the Encrypted flag and without the MIC flag set, the data field was decrypted first without verifying the MIC. When the dta field was encrypted using RC4, for example, when negotiating TKIP as a pairwise cipher, the unauthenticated but decrypted data was subsequently processed. This opened wpa_supplicant(8) to abuse by decryption and recovery of sensitive information contained in EAPOL-Key messages. All users of the WPA2 TKIP pairwise cipher are vulnerable to information, for example, the group key.
6161d24d13a49c91a2677cc51cfcb2a2FreeBSD Security Advisory - On certain Intel 64-bit x86 systems there is a period of time during terminal fault handling where the CPU may use speculative execution to try to load data. The CPU may speculatively access the level 1 data cache (L1D). Data which would otherwise be protected may then be determined by using side channel methods. This issue affects bhyve on FreeBSD/amd64 systems. An attacker executing user code, or kernel code inside of a virtual machine, may be able to read secret data from the kernel or from another virtual machine.
d2d8d94bd9c95b68c83e957598d1c85cFreeBSD Security Advisory - One of the data structures that holds TCP segments uses an inefficient algorithm to reassemble the data. This causes the CPU time spent on segment processing to grow linearly with the number of segments in the reassembly queue. An attacker who has the ability to send TCP traffic to a victim system can degrade the victim system's network performance and/or consume excessive CPU by exploiting the inefficiency of TCP reassembly handling, with relatively small bandwidth cost.
0bdd64abf1fb28bb2f9ee045a5e2a080FreeBSD Security Advisory - A subset of Intel processors can allow a local thread to infer data from another thread through a speculative execution side channel when Lazy FPU state restore is used. Any local thread can potentially read FPU state information from other threads running on the host. This could include cryptographic keys when the AES-NI CPU feature is present.
1f6a78529b67d0c29228595a5402e4ecrldns is an open source lightweight DNS server for linux, netbsd, freebsd, and openbsd. Runs on x86 and x86_64 architectures.
5b3cb3b9e8efbdc698d6294abcbf309dFreeBSD Security Advisory - The MOV SS and POP SS instructions inhibit debug exceptions until the instruction boundary following the next instruction. If that instruction is a system call or similar instruction that transfers control to the operating system, the debug exception will be handled in the kernel context instead of the user context. An authenticated local attacker may be able to read sensitive data in kernel memory, control low-level operating system functions, or may panic the system.
