Description

In FreeBSD before 11.1-STABLE, 11.1-RELEASE-p4, 11.0-RELEASE-p15, 10.4-STABLE, 10.4-RELEASE-p3, and 10.3-RELEASE-p24, the kernel does not properly clear the memory of the kld_file_stat structure before filling the data. Since the structure filled by the kernel is allocated on the kernel stack and copied to userspace, a leak of information from the kernel stack is possible. As a result, some bytes from the kernel stack can be observed in userspace.

Solution(s)

  • freebsd-upgrade-base-10_3-release-p24
  • freebsd-upgrade-base-10_4-release-p3
  • freebsd-upgrade-base-11_0-release-p15
  • freebsd-upgrade-base-11_1-release-p4
