Descriptions

In FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE before r360971, 12.1-RELEASE before p5, 11.4-STABLE before r360971, 11.4-BETA1 before p1 and 11.3-RELEASE before p9, libalias does not properly validate packet length resulting in modules causing an out of bounds read/write condition if no checking was built into the module.

En FreeBSD versiones 12.1-STABLE anteriores a r360971, versiones 12.1-RELEASE anteriores a p5, versiones 11.4-STABLE anteriores a r360971, versiones 11.4-BETA1 anteriores a p1 y versiones 11.3-RELEASE anteriores p9, libalias no comprueba apropiadamente la longitud del paquete resultando en módulos que causan una condición de lectura y escritura fuera de límites si ninguna comprobación fue incorporada dentro del módulo.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of FreeBSD Kernel. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of NAT. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a memory access past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of kernel.
