-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 ============================================================================= FreeBSD-SA-24:02.tty Security Advisory The FreeBSD Project Topic: jail(2) information leak Category: core Module: jail Announced: 2024-02-14 Credits: Pawel Jakub Dawidek Affects: All supported versions of FreeBSD. Corrected: 2024-02-12 16:25:54 UTC (stable/14, 14.0-STABLE) 2024-02-14 06:05:46 UTC (releng/14.0, 14.0-RELEASE-p5) 2024-02-12 16:27:37 UTC (stable/13, 13.3-STABLE) 2024-02-14 06:06:01 UTC (releng/13.2, 13.2-RELEASE-p10) CVE Name: CVE-2024-25941 For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the following sections, please visit . I. Background The jail(2) system call allows a system administrator to lock a process and all of its descendants inside an environment with a very limited ability to affect the system outside that environment, even for processes with superuser privileges. It is an extension of, but far more powerful than, the traditional UNIX chroot(2) system call. tty(4) is a general terminal device. II. Problem Description The jail(2) system call has not limited a visiblity of allocated TTYs (the kern.ttys sysctl). This gives rise to an information leak about processes outside the current jail. III. Impact Attacker can get information about TTYs allocated on the host or in other jails. Effectively, the information printed by "pstat -t" may be leaked. IV. Workaround No workaround is available. V. Solution Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date and reboot. 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-24:02/tty.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-24:02/tty.patch.asc # gpg --verify tty.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 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: Branch/path Hash Revision - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- stable/14/ 215bb03edc54 stable/14-n266676 releng/14.0/ 4d354159d150 releng/14.0-n265407 stable/13/ 9bff7ec98354 stable/13-n257418 releng/13.2/ 17257e6e9a23 releng/13.2-n254658 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
