    The FreeBSD Project

    Topic: ipfw(8) jail keyword broken prior to jail startup

    Category: core
    Module: ipfw
    Announced: 2019-08-20
    Affects: FreeBSD 11.3
    Corrected: 2019-08-15 17:40:48 UTC (stable/12, 12.0-STABLE)
    2019-08-15 17:40:48 UTC (stable/11, 11.3-STABLE)
    2019-08-20 17:46:40 UTC (releng/11.3, 11.3-RELEASE-p3)

    Note that this issue was introduced after the FreeBSD 11.2 and 12.0 releases. FreeBSD 11.3 is the only affected release.

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

    I. Background

    The ipfw(8) utility configures rules for the ipfw(4) firewall. The jail keyword applies the rule for packets pertaining to the given jail, named by
    the argument.

    II. Problem Description

    The jail argument no longer allowed jids to be specified before a jail was created. Attempts to use the jail keyword in this scenario would result in "jail <jid> not found" errors, when previously these rules would apply to
    any jail with the given jid that was subsequently started.

    III. Impact

    The ipfw(4) firewall will reject rules that attempt to use the jail
    keyword prior to jail startup, and these rules will not be applied.

    IV. Workaround

    The system administrator can apply jail-based firewall rules after jail creation.

    Systems that do not use ipfw(4) are not affected.

    V. Solution

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

    Perform one of the following:

    1) To update your 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

    2) To update your 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/EN-19:17/ipfw.patch
    # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-19:17/ipfw.patch.asc
    # gpg --verify ipfw.patch.asc

    b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:

    # cd /usr/src
    # patch < /path/to/patch

    c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html>.
    Restart jails to apply firewall rules, if required.

    VI. Correction details

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

    Branch/path Revision
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- stable/12/ r351094 stable/11/ r351094 releng/11.3/ r351258
    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To see which files were modified by a particular revision, run the
    following command, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number, on a
    machine with Subversion installed:

    # svn diff -cNNNNNN --summarize svn://svn.freebsd.org/base

    Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number:
