Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the FreeBSD kernel that may lead to a denial of service or privilege escalation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  • CVE-2013-5691 Loganaden Velvindron and Gleb Smirnoff discovered that the SIOCSIFADDR, SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK ioctl requests do not perform input validation or verify the caller’s credentials.
    Unprivileged user with the ability to run arbitrary code can cause any network interface in the system to perform the link layer actions associated with the above ioctl requests or trigger a kernel panic by passing a specially crafted address structure which causes a network interface driver to dereference an invalid pointer.

  • CVE-2013-5710 Konstantin Belousov discovered that the nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same nullfs instance. It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the underlying (source) filesystem is the same. If multiple nullfs views into the same filesystem are mounted in different locations, a user may gain write access to files which are nominally on a read-only filesystem.
