CVE-2026-49416  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-190  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade freebsd to version 14.3.0-p15, 14.4.0-p6, 15.0.0-p10, 15.1-RC3-p1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound via the CONS_HISTORY ioctl handler. An attacker can cause a heap buffer overflow by supplying a large history size value, leading to an integer overflow in buffer size calculation and subsequent out-of-bounds write in kernel memory. This may allow privilege escalation by a local unprivileged user with access to a vt(4) device.
