Latest FreeBSD vulnerabilities
- 7.7 High severity
FreeBSD: Use After Free
The aio_aqueue function, used by the lio_listio system call, fails to release a reference to a credential in an error case. An attacker may cause the reference count to overflow, leading to a use after free (UAF).
- 9.8 Critical severity
FreeBSD: Improper Control of Generation of Code
The 802.11 beacon handling routine failed to validate the length of an IEEE 802.11s Mesh ID before copying it to a heap-allocated buffer. While a FreeBSD Wi-Fi client is in scanning mode (i.e., not associated with a SSID) a malicious beacon frame may overwrite
- 8.8 High severity
FreeBSD: Out-of-bounds Write
The e1000 network adapters permit a variety of modifications to an Ethernet packet when it is being transmitted. These include the insertion of IP and TCP checksums, insertion of an Ethernet VLAN header, and TCP segmentation offload ("TSO"). The e1000 device m
- 7.8 High severity
FreeBSD: Out-of-bounds Write
Handlers for *_CFG_PAGE read / write ioctls in the mpr, mps, and mpt drivers allocated a buffer of a caller-specified size, but copied to it a fixed size header. Other heap content would be overwritten if the specified size was too small. Users with access to
- 8.2 High severity
FreeBSD: Out-of-bounds Write
A user-provided integer option was passed to nmreq_copyin() without checking if it would overflow. This insufficient bounds checking could lead to kernel memory corruption. On systems configured to include netmap in their devfs_ruleset, a privileged process ru
- 7.5 High severity
FreeBSD: Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition
The total size of the user-provided nmreq to nmreq_copyin() was first computed and then trusted during the copyin. This time-of-check to time-of-use bug could lead to kernel memory corruption. On systems configured to include netmap in their devfs_ruleset, a p
- 7.5 High severity
FreeBSD: Improper Privilege Management
In versions of FreeBSD 13-RELEASE before 13-RELEASE-p5, under certain circumstances the cap_net libcasper(3) service incorrectly validates that updated constraints are strictly subsets of the active constraints. When only a list of resolvable domain names was
- 9.8 Critical severity
FreeBSD: Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size
In versions of FreeBSD 12.4-RELEASE prior to 12.4-RELEASE-p7 and FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE prior to 13.2-RELEASE-p5 the __sflush() stdio function in libc does not correctly update FILE objects' write space members for write-buffered streams when the write(2) system
- 7.1 High severity
FreeBSD: Improper Check for Dropped Privileges
Before correction, the copy_file_range system call checked only for the CAP_READ and CAP_WRITE capabilities on the input and output file descriptors, respectively. Using an offset is logically equivalent to seeking, and the system call must additionally requir
- 7.5 High severity
FreeBSD: Improper Handling of Additional Special Element
In pf packet processing with a 'scrub fragment reassemble' rule, a packet containing multiple IPv6 fragment headers would be reassembled, and then immediately processed. That is, a packet with multiple fragment extension headers would not be recognized as the
- 8.8 High severity
FreeBSD: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input
The fwctl driver implements a state machine which is executed when a bhyve guest accesses certain x86 I/O ports. The interface lets the guest copy a string into a buffer resident in the bhyve process' memory. A bug in the state machine implementation can resul
- 7.5 High severity
FreeBSD: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
A set of carefully crafted ipv6 packets can trigger an integer overflow in the calculation of a fragment reassembled packet's payload length field. This allows an attacker to trigger a kernel panic, resulting in a denial of service.
- 9.8 Critical severity
FreeBSD: Improper Authentication
pam_krb5 authenticates a user by essentially running kinit with the password, getting a ticket-granting ticket (tgt) from the Kerberos KDC (Key Distribution Center) over the network, as a way to verify the password. However, if a keytab is not provisioned on t
- 7.5 High severity
Freebsd: Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions
sys/netinet/tcp_timer.h in FreeBSD before 7.0 contains a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability due to improper handling of TSopt on TCP connections. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer
