patches for easier mirroring, to eliminate a special copy, to make www.freebsd.org/security a full copy of security.freebsd.org and be eventually be the same. For now files are just sitting there. The symlinks are missing. Discussed on: www (repository location) Discussed with: simon (so)

For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
|
|
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
|
|
following sections, please visit <URL:http://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
|
|
|
|
I. Background
|
|
|
|
IPv6 is a new Internet Protocol, designed to replace (and avoid many of
|
|
the problems with) the current Internet Protocol (version 4). Many
|
|
properties of the FreeBSD IPv6 network stack can be configured via the
|
|
ioctl(2) interface.
|
|
|
|
II. Problem Description
|
|
|
|
The SIOCSIFINFO_IN6 ioctl is missing a necessary permissions check.
|
|
|
|
III. Impact
|
|
|
|
Local users, including non-root users and users inside jails, can set
|
|
some IPv6 interface properties. These include changing the link MTU
|
|
and disabling interfaces entirely. Note that this affects IPv6 only;
|
|
IPv4 functionality cannot be affected by exploiting this vulnerability.
|
|
|
|
IV. Workaround
|
|
|
|
No workaround is available, but systems without local untrusted users
|
|
are not vulnerable.
|
|
|
|
V. Solution
|
|
|
|
Perform one of the following:
|
|
|
|
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 6-STABLE, or 7-STABLE, or to the
|
|
RELENG_7_2, RELENG_7_1, RELENG_6_4, or RELENG_6_3 security branch
|
|
dated after the correction date.
|
|
|
|
2) To patch your present system:
|
|
|
|
The following patches have been verified to apply to FreeBSD 6.3, 6.4,
|
|
7.1, and 7.2 systems.
|
|
|
|
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
|
|
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
|
|
|
|
[FreeBSD 6.x]
|
|
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-09:10/ipv6-6.patch
|
|
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-09:10/ipv6-6.patch.asc
|
|
|
|
[FreeBSD 7.x]
|
|
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-09:10/ipv6.patch
|
|
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-09:10/ipv6.patch.asc
|
|
|
|
b) Apply the patch.
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/src
|
|
# patch < /path/to/patch
|
|
|
|
c) Recompile your kernel as described in
|
|
<URL:http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
|
|
system.
