VuXML IDDescription
2c5b9cd7-f7e6-11ea-88f8-901b0ef719abFreeBSD -- bhyve privilege escalation via VMCS access

Problem Description:

AMD and Intel CPUs support hardware virtualization using specialized data structures that control various aspects of guest operation. These are the Virtual Machine Control Structure (VMCS) on Intel CPUs, and the Virtual Machine Control Block (VMCB) on AMD CPUs. Insufficient access controls allow root users, including those running in a jail, to change these data structures.

Impact:

An attacker with host root access (including to a jailed bhyve instance) can use this vulnerability to achieve kernel code execution.
