CVE Name: CVE-2024-39281
For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
I. Background
The ctl subsystem provides SCSI target devices emulation. The bhyve(8)
hypervisor and ctld(8) iSCSI target daemon make use of ctl.
II. Problem Description
The command ctl_persistent_reserve_out allows the caller to specify an
arbitrary size which will be passed to the kernel's memory allocator.
III. Impact
A malicious guest could cause a Denial of Service (DoS) on the host.
IV. Workaround
No workaround is available. Systems not using virtio_scsi(4) or ctld(8)
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
the system.
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 or arm64 platforms,
or the i386 platform on FreeBSD 13, 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.
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-24:18/ctl.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-24:18/ctl.patch.asc
# gpg --verify ctl.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
<URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html>; and reboot the
system.
VI. Correction details
This issue is corrected as of the corresponding Git commit hash in the
following stable and release branches:
