FreeBSD-SA-19:19.mldv2 Security Advisory
The FreeBSD Project
Topic: ICMPv6 / MLDv2 out-of-bounds memory access
Category: core
Module: net
Announced: 2019-08-06
Credits: CJD of Apple
Affects: All supported versions of FreeBSD.
Corrected: 2019-08-06 17:13:41 UTC (stable/12, 12.0-STABLE)
2019-08-06 17:11:17 UTC (releng/12.0, 12.0-RELEASE-p9)

CVE Name: CVE-2019-5608
For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
I. Background
MLDv2 is the Multicast Listener Discovery protocol, version 2. It is used
by IPv6 routers to discover multicast listeners.
II. Problem Description
The ICMPv6 input path incorrectly handles cases where an MLDv2 listener
query packet is internally fragmented across multiple mbufs.
III. Impact
A remote attacker may be able to cause an out-of-bounds read or write that
may cause the kernel to attempt to access an unmapped page and subsequently
panic.
IV. Workaround
No workaround is available. Systems not using IPv6 are not affected.
V. Solution
Perform one of the following:
Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date,
and reboot.
1) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch:
Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64
platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
# shutdown -r +10min "Reboot for security update"
2) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch:
The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
FreeBSD release branches.
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
[FreeBSD 11.2, FreeBSD 11.3]
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:19/mldv2.11.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:19/mldv2.11.patch.asc
# gpg --verify mldv2.11.patch.asc
[FreeBSD 12.0]
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:19/mldv2.12.patch
# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-19:19/mldv2.12.patch.asc
# gpg --verify mldv2.12.patch.asc
b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
c) Recompile your kernel as described in
<URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
system.
VI. Correction details
The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each
affected branch.
