FreeBSD : FreeBSD -- AIO credential reference count leak (5ddbe47b-1891-11ed-9b22-002590c1f29c)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 164053

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 5ddbe47b-1891-11ed-9b22-002590c1f29c advisory.

 - The aio_aqueue function, used by the lio_listio system call, fails to release a reference to a credential in an error case. An attacker may cause the reference count to overflow, leading to a use after free (UAF). (CVE-2022-23090)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
