The FreeBSD Project

Topic: Linux compatibility layer incorrect futex handling

Category: core
Module: kernel
Announced: 2016-01-14
Credits: Mateusz Guzik
Affects: All supported versions of FreeBSD.
Corrected: 2016-01-14 09:11:42 UTC (stable/10, 10.2-STABLE)
2016-01-14 09:10:46 UTC (releng/10.2, 10.2-RELEASE-p9)
2016-01-14 09:11:16 UTC (releng/10.1, 10.1-RELEASE-p26)

2016-01-14 09:11:26 UTC (releng/9.3, 9.3-RELEASE-p33)
CVE Name: CVE-2016-1880

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 is binary-compatible with the Linux operating system through a
loadable kernel module/optional kernel component. The support is
provided on amd64 and i386 machines.

II. Problem Description

A programming error in the handling of Linux futex robust lists may result
in incorrect memory locations being accessed.

III. Impact

It is possible for a local attacker to read portions of kernel memory, which
may result in a privilege escalation.

IV. Workaround

No workaround is available, but systems not using the Linux binary
compatibility layer are not vulnerable.

The following command can be used to test if the Linux binary
compatibility layer is loaded:

# kldstat -m linuxelf

V. Solution

Perform one of the following:

1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date.

Reboot the system or unload and reload the linux.ko kernel module.

2) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch:

Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64
platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:

# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install

Reboot the system or unload and reload the linux.ko kernel module.

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 http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-16:03/linux.patch
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-16:03/linux.patch.asc

b) Apply the patch.

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
# cd /usr/src/amd64/linux32
# make sysent
# cd /usr/src/i386/linux
# make sysent

c) Recompile your kernel and modules as described in
<URL:http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html>.

Reboot the system or unload and reload the linux.ko kernel module.

VI. Correction details

The following list contains the revision numbers of each file that was
corrected in FreeBSD.

CVE Name:       CVE-2016-1882

For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.

I.   Background

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) of the TCP/IP protocol suite
provides a connection-oriented, reliable, sequence-preserving data
stream service.  An optional extension to TCP described in RFC 2385 allows
protecting data streams against spoofed packets with MD5 signature.

Support for TCP MD5 signatures is not enabled in default kernel.

II.  Problem Description

A programming error in processing a TCP connection with both TCP_MD5SIG
and TCP_NOOPT socket options may lead to kernel crash.

III. Impact

A local attacker can crash the kernel, resulting in a denial-of-service.

A remote attack is theoretically possible, if server has a listening
socket with TCP_NOOPT set, and server is either out of SYN cache entries,
or SYN cache is disabled by configuration.

IV.  Workaround

No workaround is available, but installations running a default kernel,
or a custom kernel without TCP_SIGNATURE option are not vulnerable.

V.   Solution

Perform one of the following:

1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date.

System reboot is required.

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-16:05/tcp.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-16:05/tcp.patch.asc
# gpg –verify tcp.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
<URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
system.

VI.  Correction details

The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each
affected branch.
