    ============================================================================= FreeBSD-SA-23:13.capsicum Security Advisory
    The FreeBSD Project

    Topic: copy_file_range insufficient capability rights check

    Category: core
    Module: capsicum
    Announced: 2023-10-03
    Credits: David Chisnall
    Affects: FreeBSD 13.2
    Corrected: 2023-10-02 16:00:27 UTC (stable/13, 13.2-STABLE)
    2023-10-03 21:24:41 UTC (releng/13.2, 13.2-RELEASE-p4)
    CVE Name: CVE-2023-5369

    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

    Capsicum is a lightweight OS capability and sandbox framework. It provides
    two kernel primatives, capability mode and capabilities. Capabilities limit operations that can be performed on file descriptors.

    copy_file_range is a system call that performs a kernel copy of a byte range from one file to another or within one file. copy_file_range accepts
    optional pointers to offsets for the input and output file descriptors.

    II. Problem Description

    The syscall checked only for the CAP_READ and CAP_WRITE capabilities on the input and output file descriptors, respectively. Using an offset is
    logically equivalent to seeking, and the syscall must additionally require
    the CAP_SEEK capability.

    III. Impact

    A sandboxed process with only read or write but no seek capability on a file descriptor may be able to read data from or write data to an arbitrary
    location within the file corresponding to that file descriptor.

    IV. Workaround

    No workaround is available.

    V. Solution

    Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
    release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date,
    and reboot.

    Perform one of the following:

    1) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch:

    Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the amd64, i386, or
    (on FreeBSD 13 and later) arm64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:

    # freebsd-update fetch
    # freebsd-update install
    # shutdown -r +10min "Rebooting for a 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.

    # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-23:13/capsicum.patch
    # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-23:13/capsicum.patch.asc
    # gpg --verify capsicum.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

    This issue is corrected by the corresponding Git commit hash or Subversion revision number in the following stable and release branches:

    Branch/path Hash Revision
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- stable/13/ 3f0ce63828dc stable/13-n256458 releng/13.2/ 2d23f6c33431 releng/13.2-n254636
    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Run the following command to see which files were modified by a
    particular commit:

    # git show --stat <commit hash>

    Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the hash:

    <URL:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=NNNNNN>

    To determine the commit count in a working tree (for comparison against
    nNNNNNN in the table above), run:

    # git rev-list --count --first-parent HEAD
