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
bhyve(8) is a hypervisor that runs guest operating systems inside a virtual
machine.
II. Problem Description
Several vulnerabilities were found in the bhyve hypervisor's device models.
The NVMe driver function nvme_opc_get_log_page is vulnerable to a buffer over-
read from a guest-controlled value. (CVE-2024-51562)
The virtio_vq_recordon function is subject to a time-of-check to time-of-use
(TOCTOU) race condition. (CVE-2024-51563)
A guest can trigger an infinite loop in the hda audio driver.
(CVE-2024-51564)
The hda driver is vulnerable to a buffer over-read from a guest-controlled
value. (CVE-2024-51565)
The NVMe driver queue processing is vulernable to guest-induced infinite
loops. (CVE-2024-51565)
III. Impact
Malicious guest virtual machines may be able to perform a denial of service
(DoS) of the bhyve host, and may read memory within the bhyve process that
they should not be able to access.
IV. Workaround
No workaround is available. Virtual machines that provide none of the NVMe,
virtio, and hda devices to the guest are not vulnerable.
V. Solution
Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date.
Restart bhyve processes, or reboot the system.
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
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-24:17/bhyve.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-24:17/bhyve.patch.asc
# gpg --verify bhyve.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 the applicable bhyve processes, or reboot the system.
VI. Correction details
This issue is corrected as of the corresponding Git commit hash in the
following stable and release branches:
