CVSS v3.1 |
| The Linux kernel before 2.6.16.9 and the FreeBSD kernel, when running on AMD64 and other 7th and 8th generation AuthenticAMD processors, only save/restore the FOP, FIP, and FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE/FXRSTOR when an exception is pending, which allows one process to determine portions of the state of floating point instructions of other processes, which can be leveraged to obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys. NOTE: this is the documented behavior of AMD64 processors, but it is inconsistent with Intel processors in a security-relevant fashion that was not addressed by the kernels. |
| The DNS map code in Sendmail 8.12.8 and earlier, when using the "enhdnsbl" feature, does not properly initialize certain data structures, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash) via an invalid DNS response that causes Sendmail to free incorrect data. |
| FreeBSD 3.2 and possibly other versions allows a local user to cause a denial of service (panic) with a large number accesses of an NFS v3 mounted directory from a large number of processes. |
| A buffer overflow in lsof allows local users to obtain root privilege. |
| The build process for ypserv in FreeBSD 5.3 up to 6.1 accidentally disables access restrictions when using the /var/yp/securenets file, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. |
| FreeBSD seyon allows local users to gain privileges by providing a malicious program in the -emulator argument. |
| Kerberos 5 su (k5su) in FreeBSD 4.4 and earlier relies on the getlogin system call to determine if the user running k5su is root, which could allow a root-initiated process to regain its privileges after it has dropped them. |
| Buffer overflow in FreeBSD gdc program. |
| Hyper-Threading technology, as used in FreeBSD and other operating systems that are run on Intel Pentium and other processors, allows local users to use a malicious thread to create covert channels, monitor the execution of other threads, and obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, via a timing attack on memory cache misses. |
| Operating systems with shared memory implementations based on BSD 4.4 code allow a user to conduct a denial of service and bypass memory limits (e.g., as specified with rlimits) using mmap or shmget to allocate memory and cause page faults. |
| runtar in the Amanda backup system used in various UNIX operating systems executes tar with root privileges, which allows a user to overwrite or read arbitrary files by providing the target files to runtar. |
| The suidperl and sperl program do not give up root privileges when changing UIDs back to the original users, allowing root access. |
| Multiple TCP implementations with Protection Against Wrapped Sequence Numbers (PAWS) with the timestamps option enabled allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection loss) via a spoofed packet with a large timer value, which causes the host to discard later packets because they appear to be too old. |
| The binary compatibility mode for FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x does not properly handle certain Linux system calls, which could allow local users to access kernel memory to gain privileges or cause a system panic. |
| The virtual memory management system in FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE and earlier does not properly check the existence of a VM object during page invalidation, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) by calling msync on an unaccessed memory map created with MAP_ANON and MAP_NOSYNC flags. |
| 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. |
| sort in FreeBSD 4.1.1 and earlier, and possibly other operating systems, uses predictable temporary file names and does not properly handle when the temporary file already exists, which causes sort to crash and possibly impacts security-sensitive scripts. |
| FreeBSD 4.6 to 4.11 and 5.x to 5.4 uses insecure default permissions for the /dev/iir device, which allows local users to execute restricted ioctl calls to read or modify data on hardware that is controlled by the iir driver. |
| ipfw in FreeBSD does not properly handle the use of "me" in its rules when point to point interfaces are used, which causes ipfw to allow connections from arbitrary remote hosts. |
| inetd ident server in FreeBSD 4.x and earlier does not properly set group permissions, which allows remote attackers to read the first 16 bytes of files that are accessible by the wheel group. |
