CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 kfreebsd-10 to version 10.0~svn258623-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kfreebsd-10 package and not the kfreebsd-10 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The ql_eioctl function in sys/dev/qlxgbe/ql_ioctl.c in the kernel in FreeBSD 10 and earlier does not validate a certain size parameter, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory via a crafted ioctl call.
