For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,

including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the

following sections, please visit <URL:http://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
I.   Background
IPv6 is a new Internet Protocol, designed to replace (and avoid many of

the problems with) the current Internet Protocol (version 4).  Many

properties of the FreeBSD IPv6 network stack can be configured via the

ioctl(2) interface.
II.  Problem Description
The SIOCSIFINFO_IN6 ioctl is missing a necessary permissions check.
III. Impact
Local users, including non-root users and users inside jails, can set

some IPv6 interface properties.  These include changing the link MTU

and disabling interfaces entirely.  Note that this affects IPv6 only;

IPv4 functionality cannot be affected by exploiting this vulnerability.
IV.  Workaround
No workaround is available, but systems without local untrusted users

are not vulnerable.
V.   Solution
Perform one of the following:
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 6-STABLE, or 7-STABLE, or to the

RELENG_7_2, RELEN...

Dear FreeBSD Community,
The FreeBSD Foundation is pleased to announce one of the projects from

the accepted project proposals!
The project is to make FreeBSD tolerate the removal of active disk

devices, such as when a USB flash device with a mounted filesystems is

physically detached by a user.  Currently the system may panic in this

situation. The work involves adding proper reference counting to

strategic portions of the kernel and modifying filesystems to properly

handle "device lost" errors.
Edward Tomasz Napierala is the developer working on this project.
"We are very excited to be able to fund this project, which we know is

of great interest to our users, especially in the desktop space," said

Robert Watson, president of The FreeBSD Foundation.
Robert also said, "The removable USB disk causing a crash turns out to

be our #1 reported bug."
"I am very happy to have the opportunity to work on this exciting

project," said Edward Tomasz Napierala, FreeBSD developer. "It's just

wrong when the system panics because you removed the pendrive!," he added.
The project will be completed by February 2009.
Sincerely,
The FreeBSD Foundation

CVE Name:       CVE-2007-5135
For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,

including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the

following sections, please visit <URL:http://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
I.   Background
FreeBSD includes software from the OpenSSL Project.  The OpenSSL Project is

a collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-featured,

and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3)

and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as well as a full-strength

general purpose cryptography library.
II.  Problem Description
A buffer overflow addressed in FreeBSD-SA-06:23.openssl has been found

to be incorrectly fixed.
III. Impact
For applications using the SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function, the

buffer overflow could allow an attacker to crash or potentially

execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the

application.
IV.  Workaround
No workaround is available, but only applications using the

SSL_get_shared_ciphers() function are affected.
V.   Solution
Perform one of the following:
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 5-STABLE,...

CVE Name:       CVE-2008-1447
For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,

including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the

following sections, please visit <URL:http://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
I.   Background
BIND 9 is an implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols.

The named(8) daemon is an Internet Domain Name Server.  DNS requests

contain a query id which is used to match a DNS request with the response

and to make it harder for anybody but the DNS server which received the

request to send a valid response.
II.  Problem Description
The BIND DNS implementation does not randomize the UDP source port when

doing remote queries, and the query id alone does not provide adequate

randomization.
III. Impact
The lack of source port randomization reduces the amount of data the

attacker needs to guess in order to successfully execute a DNS cache

poisoning attack.  This allows the attacker to influence or control

the results of DNS queries being returned to users from target systems.
IV.  Workaround
Limiting the group of machines that can do recursive queries on the DNS

server will make it more difficult, but not impossible, for this

vulnerability to be exploited.
To limit the machines ...

For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,

including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the

following sections, please visit <URL:http://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
I.   Background
The device file system (devfs) provides access to system devices, such as

storage devices and serial ports, via the file system namespace.
VFS is the Virtual File System, which abstracts file system operations in

the kernel from the actual underlying file system.
II.  Problem Description
Due to the interaction between devfs and VFS, a race condition exists

where the kernel might dereference a NULL pointer.
III. Impact
Successful exploitation of the race condition can lead to local kernel

privilege escalation, kernel data corruption and/or crash.
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be able to run code with user

privileges on the target system.
IV.  Workaround
An errata note, FreeBSD-EN-09:05.null has been released simultaneously to

this advisory, and contains a kernel patch implementing a workaround for a

more broad class of vulnerabilities.  However, prio...

For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,

including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the

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.
The host's jail rc.d(8) script can be used to start and stop jails

automatically on system boot/shutdown.
II.  Problem Description
In multiple situations the host's jail rc.d(8) script does not check if

a path inside the jail file system structure is a symbolic link before

using the path.  In particular this is the case when writing the

output from the jail start-up to /var/log/console.log and when

mounting and unmounting file systems inside the jail directory

structure.
III. Impact
Due to the lack of hand...

The FreeBSD Project is pleased to announce its participation in the

Google Summer of Code program designed to introduce students to open

source software development.  We received over 120 high quality

applications, amongst which 25 projects have been selected for

funding.  The full list of accepted student proposals is available

here :
 http://www.FreeBSD.org/projects/summerofcode-2007.html
Unfortunately, due to the limited number of spots available, we were

unable to fund many first rate applications.  However, we encourage

students to work together with us all year round.  The FreeBSD Project

is always willing to help students learn more about operating system

development through our normal community mailing lists and development

forums.  Contributing to an open source software project is a valuable

component of a computer science education and great preparation for a

career in software development.
More information about the student projects will be available

throughout the summer from the FreeBSD Summer of Code Wiki :

of the unused portion of the buffer is not correctly tracked, resulting

in a buffer overflow when processing certain files.
III. Impact
An attacker who can cause file(1) to be run on a maliciously constructed

input can cause file(1) to crash.  It may be possible for such an attacker

to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running file(1).
The above also applies to any other applications using the libmagic(3)

library.
IV.  Workaround
No workaround is available, but systems where file(1) and other

libmagic(3)-using applications are never run on untrusted input are not

vulnerable.

As of June 1, 2008 00:00:00 UTC, FreeBSD 5.X support in the ports tree

is End Of Life.  This means that a ports tree checked out after this

date is not guaranteed to produce usable packages on 5.X.  Additionally,

5.X package builds on the cluster will cease.  Users are encouraged to

upgrade to 6.3 or 7.0 if they wish to continue to track the latest ports

tree.
A tag, RELEASE_5_EOL, has been laid down to mark the last point in the

ports tree that officially supported FreeBSD 5.X.  Port Manager asks

that you not rush to remove 5.X support right away as we'd like a

settling-down period, and we want secteam to have a chance to make their

EOL announcements as well.

FreeBSD-SA-08:04.ipsec                                      Security Advisory

                                                          The FreeBSD Project
Topic:          IPsec null pointer dereference panic
Category:       core

Module:         ipsec

Announced:      2008-02-14

Credits:        Takashi Sogabe, Tatuya Jinmei

Affects:        FreeBSD 5.5

Corrected:      2008-02-14 11:49:39 UTC (RELENG_5, 5.5-STABLE)

                2008-02-14 11:50:28 UTC (RELENG_5_5, 5.5-RELEASE-p19)

CVE Name:       CVE-2008-0177
For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,

including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the

following sections, please visit <URL:http://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
I.   Background
The IPsec suite of protocols provide network level security for IPv4

and IPv6 packets.  FreeBSD includes software originally developed by

the KAME project which implements the various protocols that make up

IPsec.
II.  Problem Description
There is an improper reference to a data structure in the processing of

IPsec packets, which can result in a NULL pointer being dereferenced.
III. Impact
A single specifically crafted IPv6 packet could cause the kernel to panic,

when the kernel had been configured to process IPsec and IPv6 traffic.
This requires IPSEC to be compiled into the kernel, it does not necessarily

have to be configured at that point.
IV.  Workaround
No workaround is available, but kernels which does not include IPsec

support are not vulnerable.  The GENERIC and SMP kernel configurations

distributed with FreeBSD releases do not include IPsec support.
V.   Solution
Perform one of the following:
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 5-STABLE, or to the RELENG_5_5

security branch dated after the correction date.
2) To patch your present system:
The following patches have been verified t...
