Consider applications to rowhammer, cold boot attacks, shared hosting, VM, poison, etc... there are papers on some use cases. AMD SME has some different levels with EPYC being full featured, TR and PRO differently, than even consumer cpu last. FreeBSD should also implement sysctl that writes random to all memory (even over kernel) just before halt / reboot call. Similar for unallocated upon sleep, upon alloc release, and as background scrub. User can already choose random upon alloc with malloc.conf but that is different than above. Also: memtest86[+] integration.

Corrected: 2021-01-06 14:58:41 UTC (stable/12, 12.2-STABLE) 2021-01-29 01:20:59 UTC (releng/12.2, 12.2-RELEASE-p3) 2021-01-29 01:06:09 UTC (releng/12.1, 12.1-RELEASE-p13) 2021-01-18 19:16:24 UTC (stable/11, 11.4-STABLE) 2021-01-29 00:20:09 UTC (releng/11.4, 11.4-RELEASE-p7) CVE Name: CVE-2020-25578, CVE-2020-25579 For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the following sections, please visit . I. Background The FreeBSD kernel exports file system directory entries to userspace using the generic "dirent" structure. Individual file systems implement VOP_READDIR to convert from the file system's internal directory entry layout to the generic form. dirent structures can be fetched from userspace using the getdirentries(2) system call. II. Problem Description Several file systems were not properly initializing the d_off field of the dirent structures returned by VOP_READDIR. In particular, tmpfs(5), smbfs(5), autofs(5) and mqueuefs(5) were failing to do so. As a result, eight uninitialized kernel stack bytes may be leaked to userspace by these file systems. This problem is not present in FreeBSD 11. Additionally, msdosfs(5) was failing to zero-fill a pair of padding fields in the dirent structure, resulting in a leak of three uninitialized bytes. III. Impact Kernel stack disclosures may leak sensitive information which could be used to compromise the security of the system. IV. Workaround Systems that do not have any of the affected file systems mounted are not affected. To trigger the leaks, an unprivileged user must have read access to a directory belonging to one of the mounted file systems. V. Solution Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date, and reboot. Perform one of the following: 1) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch: Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility: # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install # shutdown -r +10min "Rebooting for a security update" 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. [FreeBSD 12.x] # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:01/fsdisclosure.12.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:01/fsdisclosure.12.patch.asc # gpg --verify fsdisclosure.12.patch.asc [FreeBSD 11.x] # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:01/fsdisclosure.11.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:01/fsdisclosure.11.patch.asc # gpg --verify fsdisclosure.11.patch.asc b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch c) Recompile your kernel as described in and reboot the system. VI. Correction details The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each affected branch. Branch/path Revision - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- stable/12/ r368969 releng/12.2/ r369175 releng/12.1/ r369165 stable/11/ r369047 releng/11.4/ r369156 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To see which files were modified by a particular revision, run the following command, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number, on a machine with Subversion installed: # svn diff -cNNNNNN --summarize svn://svn.freebsd.org/base Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number: VII.

I. Background Xen is a type-1 hypervisor which supports FreeBSD as a Dom0 (or host domain). II. Problem Description Some OSes (including Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD) are processing watch events using a single thread. If the events are received faster than the thread is able to handle, they will get queued. As the queue is unbound, a guest may be able to trigger a OOM in the backend. III. Impact A malicious guest can trigger an OOM in backends. IV. Workaround No workaround is available. FreeBSD systems not using Xen are not affected. V. Solution Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date, and reboot. Perform one of the following: 1) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch: Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility: # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install # shutdown -r +10min "Rebooting for a security update" 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. [FreeBSD 12.x] # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:02/xenoom.12.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:02/xenoom.12.patch.asc # gpg --verify xenoom.12.patch.asc [FreeBSD 11.x] # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:02/xenoom.11.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-21:02/xenoom.11.patch.asc # gpg --verify xenoom.11.patch.asc b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch c) Recompile your kernel as described in and reboot the system. VI. Correction details The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each affected branch. Branch/path Revision - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- stable/12/ r369038 releng/12.2/ r369177 releng/12.1/ r369167 stable/11/ r369072 releng/11.4/ r369158 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To see which files were modified by a particular revision, run the following command, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number, on a machine with Subversion installed: # svn diff -cNNNNNN --summarize svn://svn.freebsd.org/base Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number: VII.
