Revision history v1.0 2016-03-16 Initial release. v1.1 2016-10-25 Revised patch to address a problem pointed out by ahaha from Chaitin Tech. I. Background The IA-32 architecture allows programs to define segments, which provides based and size-limited view into the program address space. The memory-resident processor structure, called Local Descriptor Table, usually abbreviated LDT, contains definitions of the segments. Since incorrect or malicious segments would breach system integrity, operating systems do not provide processes direct access to the LDT, instead they provide system calls which allow controlled installation and removal of segments. II. Problem Description A special combination of sysarch(2) arguments, specify a request to uninstall a set of descriptors from the LDT. The start descriptor is cleared and the number of descriptors are provided. Due to lack of sufficient bounds checking during argument validity verification, unbound zero'ing of the process LDT and adjacent memory can be initiated from usermode. III. Impact This vulnerability could cause the kernel to panic. In addition it is possible to perform a local Denial of Service against the system by unprivileged processes. IV. Workaround No workaround is available, but only the amd64 architecture is affected. V. Solution Perform one of the following: 1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date. Reboot is required. 2) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch: Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility: # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install Reboot is required. 3) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch: The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable FreeBSD release branches. [*** v1.1 NOTE ***] If your sources are not yet patched using the initially published advisory patches, then you need to apply both sysarch.patch and sysarch-01.patch. If your sources are already updated, or patched with patches from the initial advisory, then you need to apply sysarch-01.patch only. a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.

I. Background bhyve is a BSD licensed hypervisor that supports running a variety of virtual machines (guests). II. Problem Description An unchecked array reference in the VGA device emulation code could potentially allow guests access to the heap of the bhyve process. Since the bhyve process is running as root, this may allow guests to obtain full control of the hosts they are running on. III. Impact For bhyve virtual machines with the "fbuf" framebuffer device configured, if exploited, a malicious guest could obtain full access to not just the host system, but to other virtual machines running on the system. IV. Workaround No workaround is available, however systems not using bhyve for virtualization are not vulnerable. Additionally systems using bhyve but without the "fbuf" framebuffer device configured are not vulnerable. V. Solution Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date. No reboot is needed. Rather the bhyve process for vulnerable virtual machines should be restarted. Perform one of the following: 1) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch: Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the amd64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility. 2) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch: The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable FreeBSD release branches. a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the detached PGP signature using your PGP utility. # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-16:32/bhyve.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-16:32/bhyve.patch.asc # gpg --verify bhyve.patch.asc b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as described in . Restart the bhyve process(es). VI.
