What is CVE-2024-43110?
CVE-2024-43110 is a high-severity vulnerability in Freebsd Freebsd, published on 5 Sep 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The ctl_request_sense function could expose up to three bytes of the kernel heap to userspace.
Malicious software running in a guest VM that exposes virtio_scsi can exploit the vulnerabilities to achieve code execution on the host in the bhyve userspace process, which typically runs as root. Note that bhyve runs in a Capsicum sandbox, so malicious code is constrained by the capabilities available to the bhyve process. A malicious iSCSI initiator could achieve remote code execution on the iSCSI target host.
Weakness: CWE-125
