FreeBSD-SA-09:06.ktimer Security Advisory

Topic: Local privilege escalation
Category: core
Module: kern
Announced: 2009-03-23
Affects: FreeBSD 7.x
Corrected: 2009-03-23 00:00:50 UTC (RELENG_7, 7.2-PRERELEASE)
2009-03-23 00:00:50 UTC (RELENG_7_1, 7.1-RELEASE-p4)

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
In FreeBSD 7.0, support was introduced for per-process timers as defined
in the POSIX realtime extensions. This allows a process to have a limited
number of timers running at once, with various actions taken when each
timer reaches zero.
II. Problem Description
An integer which specifies which timer a process wishes to operate upon is
not properly bounds-checked.
III. Impact
An unprivileged process can overwrite an arbitrary location in kernel
memory. This could be used to change the user ID of the process (in order
to "become root"), to escape from a jail, or to bypass security mechanisms
in other ways.
IV. Workaround
No workaround is available, but systems without untrusted local users are
not vulnerable.
V. Solution
Perform one of the following:
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 7-STABLE, or to the RELENG_7_1
or RELENG_7_0 security branch dated after the correction date.
2) To patch your present system:
The following patch has been verified to apply to FreeBSD 7.0 and 7.1
systems.
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-09:06/ktimer.patch
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-09:06/ktimer.patch.asc
b) Apply the patch.
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
c) Recompile your kernel as described in
<URL:http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
system.
