FreeBSD 11.x < 11.2-RELEASE-p14 / 11.x < 11.3-RELEASE-p3 / 12.x < 12.0-RELEASE-p10 midistat Race Condition

high Nessus Plugin ID 128415

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The version of the FreeBSD kernel running on the remote host is 11.x prior to 11.2-RELEASE-p14, 11.x prior to 11.3-RELEASE-p3, or 12.x prior to 12.0-RELEASE-p10. It is, therefore, affected by an out-of-bounds memory access race condition in midistat. An authenticated attacker could exploit this, via a specially crafted program, to cause an out-of-bounds memory access and a subsequent kernel panic.

Solution

Upgrade to the appropriate FreeBSD version.
