CERTA-2008-AVI-020

Vulnerability from certfr_avis - Published: - Updated:

De multiples vulnérabilités affectent FreeBSD. Ces vulnérabilités peuvent être exploitées afin d'exécuter des commandes arbitraires à distance ou accéder à des informations sensibles en local.

Description

Trois vulnérabilités ont été découvertes dans FreeBSD :

la première résulte d'une erreur de gestion de limite de boucle (off-by-one) au niveau de la fonction inet_network(). Cette vulnérabilité peut être exploitée à distance par un utilisateur malintentionné afin d'exécuter du code ;
la seconde est due à une erreur dans la fonction openpty(). Cette vulnérabilité peut être exploitée en local afin d'accéder à des informations confidentielles pour un utilisateur standard ;
enfin, la dernière vulnérabilité est due à une erreur dans le fonction ptsname(). Cette vulnérabilité peut être exploitée en local afin de devenir propriétaire d'un pty à accès restreint.

Solution

Se référer au bulletin de sécurité de l'éditeur pour l'obtention des correctifs (cf. section Documentation).

FreeBSD 6.x.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
