    Topic: jail(2) information leak

    Category: core
    Module: jail
    Announced: 2024-02-14
    Credits: Pawel Jakub Dawidek
    Affects: All supported versions of FreeBSD.
    Corrected: 2024-02-12 16:25:54 UTC (stable/14, 14.0-STABLE)
    2024-02-14 06:05:46 UTC (releng/14.0, 14.0-RELEASE-p5)

    CVE Name: CVE-2024-25941

    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 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.

    tty(4) is a general terminal device.

    II. Problem Description

    The jail(2) system call has not limited a visiblity of allocated TTYs
    (the kern.ttys sysctl). This gives rise to an information leak about
    processes outside the current jail.

    III. Impact

    Attacker can get information about TTYs allocated on the host or in other jails. Effectively, the information printed by "pstat -t" may be leaked.

    IV. Workaround

    No workaround is available.

    V. Solution

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

    Perform one of the following:

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

    Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the amd64 or arm64 platforms, or the i386 platform on FreeBSD 13, can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:

    # freebsd-update fetch
    # freebsd-update install
    # shutdown -r +10min "Rebooting for a security update"

    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-24:02/tty.patch
    # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-24:02/tty.patch.asc
    # gpg --verify tty.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

    This issue is corrected as of the corresponding Git commit hash in the following stable and release branches:

    Branch/path Hash Revision
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- stable/14/ 215bb03edc54 stable/14-n266676 releng/14.0/ 4d354159d150 releng/14.0-n265407 stable/13/ 9bff7ec98354 stable/13-n257418 releng/13.2/ 17257e6e9a23 releng/13.2-n254658
    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Run the following command to see which files were modified by a
    particular commit:

    # git show --stat <commit hash>

    Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the hash:

    <URL:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=NNNNNN>

    To determine the commit count in a working tree (for comparison against
    nNNNNNN in the table above), run:

    # git rev-list --count --first-parent HEAD
