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/>.
|
|
|
|
0. Revision history
|
|
|
|
v1.0 2019-05-14 Initial release.
|
|
v1.1 2019-05-15 Fixed date on microcode update package.
|
|
v1.2 2019-05-15 Userland startup microcode update details added.
|
|
Add language specifying which manufacturers is affected.
|
|
|
|
I. Background
|
|
|
|
Modern processors make use of speculative execution, an optimization
|
|
technique which performs some action in advance of knowing whether the
|
|
result will actually be used.
|
|
|
|
II. Problem Description
|
|
|
|
On some Intel processors utilizing speculative execution a local process may
|
|
be able to infer stale information from microarchitectural buffers to obtain
|
|
a memory disclosure.
|
|
|
|
III. Impact
|
|
|
|
An attacker may be able to read secret data from the kernel or from a
|
|
process when executing untrusted code (for example, in a web browser).
|
|
|
|
IV. Workaround
|
|
|
|
No workaround is available.
|
|
|
|
Only Intel x86 based processors are affected. x86 processors from other
|
|
manufacturers (eg, AMD) are not believed to be vulnerable.
|
|
|
|
Systems with users or processors in different trust domains should disable
|
|
Hyper-Threading by setting the machdep.hyperthreading_allowed tunable to 0:
|
|
|
|
# echo 'machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=0 >> /boot/loader.conf'
|
|
# shutdown -r +10min "Security update"
|
|
|
|
V. Solution
|
|
|
|
Perform one of the following:
|
|
|
|
Update CPU microcode, upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD
|
|
stable or release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date,
|
|
evaluate mitigation and Hyper Threading controls, and reboot the system.
|
|
|
|
New CPU microcode may be available in a BIOS update from your system vendor,
|
|
or by installing the devcpu-data package or sysutils/devcpu-data port.
|
|
Ensure that the BIOS update or devcpu-data package is dated after 2019-05-14.
|
|
|
|
If using the package or port the Intel microcode update can be applied at
|
|
boot time (only on FreeBSD 12 and later) by adding the following lines to the
|
|
system's /boot/loader.conf:
|
|
|
|
cpu_microcode_load="YES"
|
|
cpu_microcode_name="/boot/firmware/intel-ucode.bin"
|
|
|
|
To automatically load microcode during userland startup (supported on all
|
|
FreeBSD versions), add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
|
|
|
|
microcode_update_enable="YES"
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
Follow additional details under "Mitigation Configuration" below.
|
|
|
|
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 12.0-STABLE]
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:07/mds.12-stable.patch
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:07/mds.12-stable.patch.asc
|
|
# gpg --verify mds.12-stable.patch.asc
|
|
|
|
[FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE]
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:07/mds.12.0.patch
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:07/mds.12.0.patch.asc
|
|
# gpg --verify mds.12.0.patch.asc
|
|
|
|
[FreeBSD 11.3-PRERELEASE]
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:07/mds.11-stable.patch
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:07/mds.11-stable.patch.asc
|
|
# gpg --verify mds.11-stable.patch.asc
|
|
|
|
[FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE]
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:07/mds.11.2.patch
|
|
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:07/mds.11.2.patch.asc
|
|
# gpg --verify mds.11.2.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>.
|
|
|
|
Mitigation Configuration
|
|
|
|
Systems with users, processes, or virtual machines in different trust
|
|
domains should disable Hyper-Threading by setting the
|
|
machdep.hyperthreading_allowed tunable to 0:
|
|
|
|
# echo machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=0 >> /boot/loader.conf
|
|
|
|
To activate the MDS mitigation set the hw.mds_disable sysctl. The settings
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
0 - mitigation disabled
|
|
1 - VERW instruction (microcode) mitigation enabled
|
|
2 - Software sequence mitigation enabled (not recommended)
|
|
3 - Automatic VERW or Software selection
|
|
|
|
Automatic mode uses the VERW instruction if supported by the CPU / microcode,
|
|
or software sequences if not. To enable automatic mode at boot:
|
|
|
|
# echo hw.mds_disable=3 >> /etc/sysctl.conf
|
|
|
|
Reboot the system:
|
|
|
|
# shutdown -r +10min "Security update"
|
|
|
|
Check the mitigation status:
|
|
|
|
# sysctl hw.mds_disable_state
|
|
hw.mds_disable_state: software Silvermont
|
|
|
|
