CVE-2024-43110 Information

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.
