| The rtsock_msg_buffer() function serializes routing information into a buffer. As a part of this, it copies sockaddr structures into a sockaddr_storage structure on the stack. It assumes that the source sockaddr length field had already been validated, but this is not necessarily the case, and it's possible for a malicious userspace program to craft a request which triggers a 127-byte overflow.
In practice, this overflow immediately overwrites the canary for the rtsock_msg_buffer() stack frame, resulting in a panic once the function returns.
The bug allows an unprivileged user to crash the kernel by triggering a stack buffer overflow in rtsock_msg_buffer(). In particular, the overflow will corrupt a stack canary value that is verified when the function returns; this mitigates the impact of the stack overflow by triggering a kernel panic.
Other kernel bugs may exist which allow userspace to find the canary value and thus defeat the mitigation, at which point local privilege escalation may be possible. |
| Due to a programming error, blocklistd leaks a socket descriptor for each adverse event report it receives.
Once a certain number of leaked sockets is reached, blocklistd becomes unable to run the helper script: a child process is forked, but this child dereferences a null pointer and crashes before it is able to exec the helper. At this point, blocklistd still records adverse events but is unable to block new addresses or unblock addresses whose database entries have expired.
Once a second, much higher number of leaked sockets is reached, blocklistd becomes unable to receive new adverse event reports.
An attacker may take advantage of this by triggering a large number of adverse events from sacrificial IP addresses to effectively disable blocklistd before launching an attack.
Even in the absence of attacks or probes by would-be attackers, adverse events will occur regularly in the course of normal operations, and blocklistd will gradually run out file descriptors and become ineffective.
The accumulation of open sockets may have knock-on effects on other parts of the system, resulting in a general slowdown until blocklistd is restarted. |
| isakmpd/message.c in isakmpd in FreeBSD before isakmpd-20020403_1, and in OpenBSD 3.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by sending Internet Key Exchange (IKE) payloads out of sequence. |
| The default aide.conf file in Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) before 0.7_1 on FreeBSD before 2002-08-28 does not properly check subdirectories, which could allow local users to bypass detection. |
| Buffer overflow in the Linux binary compatibility module in FreeBSD 3.x through 5.x allows local users to gain root privileges via long filenames in the linux shadow file system. |
| Race condition in exec in OpenBSD 4.0 and earlier, NetBSD 1.5.2 and earlier, and FreeBSD 4.4 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges by attaching a debugger to a process before the kernel has determined that the process is setuid or setgid. |
| procfs on FreeBSD before 4.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by removing a file that the fstatfs function refers to. |
| FreeBSD 5.x, 4.x, and 3.x allows local users to cause a denial of service by executing a program with a malformed ELF image header. |
| FreeBSD seyon allows local users to gain privileges by providing a malicious program in the -emulator argument. |
| pkg_add in FreeBSD 4.2 through 4.4 creates a temporary directory with world-searchable permissions, which may allow local users to modify world-writable parts of the package during installation. |
| BIND 8.x through 8.3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via SIG RR elements with invalid expiry times, which are removed from the internal BIND database and later cause a null dereference. |
| libedit searches for the .editrc file in the current directory instead of the user's home directory, which may allow local users to execute arbitrary commands by installing a modified .editrc in another directory. |
| BIND 8.3.x through 8.3.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (termination due to assertion failure) via a request for a subdomain that does not exist, with an OPT resource record with a large UDP payload size. |
| Buffer overflow in named in BIND 4 versions 4.9.10 and earlier, and 8 versions 8.3.3 and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain DNS server response containing SIG resource records (RR). |
| OpenSSL 0.9.4 and OpenSSH for FreeBSD do not properly check for the existence of the /dev/random or /dev/urandom devices, which are absent on FreeBSD Alpha systems, which causes them to produce weak keys which may be more easily broken. |
| FreeBSD seyon allows users to gain privileges via a modified PATH variable for finding the xterm and seyon-emu commands. |
| Buffer overflow and denial of service in Sendmail 8.7.5 and earlier through GECOS field gives root access to local users. |
| FreeBSD port programs that use libkvm for FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE and earlier, including (1) asmon, (2) ascpu, (3) bubblemon, (4) wmmon, and (5) wmnet2, leave open file descriptors for /dev/mem and /dev/kmem, which allows local users to read kernel memory. |
| Integer signedness error in several system calls for FreeBSD 4.6.1 RELEASE-p10 and earlier may allow attackers to access sensitive kernel memory via large negative values to the (1) accept, (2) getsockname, and (3) getpeername system calls, and the (4) vesa FBIO_GETPALETTE ioctl. |
| A FreeBSD patch for SSH on 2000-01-14 configures ssh to listen on port 722 as well as port 22, which might allow remote attackers to access SSH through port 722 even if port 22 is otherwise filtered. |
