CVE Name: CVE-2016-1886

For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,

including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the

following sections, please visit

I. Background

The atkbd(4) driver, together with the atkbdc(4) driver, provides access

to the AT 84 keyboard or the AT enhanced keyboard which is connected to

the AT keyboard controller. The driver is required for the console driver

syscons(4) or vt(4). The driver exposes its own ioctl(2) interface to allow

it to be configured from userland through the kbdcontrol(1) utility.

II. Problem Description

Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl(2) handler allows a malicious

local user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory.

III. Impact

A local user may crash the kernel, read a portion of kernel memory and

execute arbitrary code in kernel context. The result of executing an

arbitrary kernel code is privilege escalation.

IV. Workaround

Disallow keymap changes for non-privileged users:

sysctl hw.kbd.keymap_restrict_change=4

V. Solution

Perform one of the following:

1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or

release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date.

Reboot is required.

2) 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

Reboot is required.

3) 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 http://ift.tt/1Tj8jAa

# fetch http://ift.tt/1W1G9zs

# gpg --verify atkbd.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

system.

VI. Correction details

The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each

affected branch.
