-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 ============================================================================= FreeBSD-SA-22:12.lib9p Security Advisory The FreeBSD Project Topic: Missing bounds check in 9p message handling Category: contrib Module: lib9p Announced: 2022-08-09 Credits: Robert Morris Affects: FreeBSD 13.0 and 13.1 Corrected: 2022-08-09 13:33:14 UTC (stable/13, 13.1-STABLE) 2022-08-09 20:01:13 UTC (releng/13.1, 13.1-RELEASE-p1) 2022-08-09 20:00:03 UTC (releng/13.0, 13.0-RELEASE-p12) CVE Name: CVE-2022-23092 For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the following sections, please visit . I. Background lib9p provides an implementation of the 9p file system protocol. It is used by bhyve(8) to provide guest access to a host file system tree via the virtio-9p device model. The FreeBSD base system does not contain any other users of lib9p. II. Problem Description The implementation of lib9p's handling of RWALK messages was missing a bounds check needed when unpacking the message contents. The missing check means that the receipt of a specially crafted message will cause lib9p to overwrite unrelated memory. III. Impact The bug can be triggered by a malicious bhyve guest kernel to overwrite memory in the bhyve(8) process. This could potentially lead to user-mode code execution on the host, subject to bhyve's Capsicum sandbox. IV. Workaround No workaround is available. Systems not using bhyve's virtio-9p device model 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 restart any VMs utilizing virtio-9p devices. 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, i386, or (on FreeBSD 13 and later) arm64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility: # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install 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-22:12/lib9p.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-22:12/lib9p.patch.asc # gpg --verify lib9p.patch.asc b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as described in . Restart restart any VMs utilizing virtio-9p devices, or reboot the system. VI. Correction details This issue is corrected by the corresponding Git commit hash or Subversion revision number in the following stable and release branches: Branch/path Hash Revision - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- stable/13/ c536045c51da stable/13-n252071 releng/13.1/ 7dfe949791e7 releng/13.1-n250154 releng/13.0/ 70a2cf7bb2e0 releng/13.0-n244806 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Run the following command to see which files were modified by a particular commit: # git show --stat Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the hash: To determine the commit count in a working tree (for comparison against nNNNNNN in the table above), run: # git rev-list --count --first-parent HEAD VII.
