| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
FreeBSD (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to a use-after-free vulnerability in the UMTX OP SHM operation's handling of anonymous shared memory used for process-shared mutexes. Concurrent removals of certain anonymous shared memory mappings by using the UMTX SHM DESTROY sub-request of UMTX OP SHM can lead to decreasing the reference count of the object representing the mapping too many times, causing it to be freed too early. A malicious code exercising the UMTX SHM DESTROY sub-request in parallel can panic the kernel or enable further use-after-free attacks, potentially including code execution or Capsicum sandbox escape.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
