|
|
|
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 Intel machine check architecture is a mechanism to detect and report
|
|
hardware errors, such as system bus errors, ECC errors, parity errors, and
|
|
others. This allows the processor to signal the detection of a machine
|
|
check error to the operating system.
|
|
|
|
II. Problem Description
|
|
|
|
Intel discovered a previously published erratum on some Intel platforms can
|
|
be exploited by malicious software to potentially cause a denial of service
|
|
by triggering a machine check that will crash or hang the system.
|
|
|
|
III. Impact
|
|
|
|
Malicious guest operating systems may be able to crash the host.
|
|
|
|
IV. Workaround
|
|
|
|
No workaround is available. Systems not running untrusted guest virtual
|
|
machines are not impacted.
|
|
|
|
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 i386 or amd64
|
|
platforms 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.
|
|
|
|
[FreeBSD 12.1]
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:25/mcepsc.12.1.patch
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:25/mcepsc.12.1.patch.asc
|
|
# gpg --verify mcepsc.12.1.patch.asc
|
|
|
|
[FreeBSD 12.0]
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:25/mcepsc.12.0.patch
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:25/mcepsc.12.0.patch.asc
|
|
# gpg --verify mcepsc.12.0.patch.asc
|
|
|
|
[FreeBSD 11.3]
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:25/mcepsc.11.patch
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:25/mcepsc.11.patch.asc
|
|
# gpg --verify mcepsc.11.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.
