Race Condition in FreeBSD Largepage Shared Memory Configuration

Description

The FIOSSHMLPGCNF ioctl(2) operation configures the page size for a largepage shared memory object. This is intended to be used immediately after creating the object, before any memory is allocated for the object. The handler checked whether a page size had already been configured without holding the rangelock. Two concurrent callers could both observe an unconfigured object and set conflicting page sizes, leaving the object in an inconsistent state. An unprivileged local user can exploit this race to escalate privileges.

Executive Summary

This is a race condition vulnerability in the FIOSSHMLPGCNF ioctl operation for largepage shared memory objects in FreeBSD. It occurs when two concurrent unprivileged local users both attempt to configure the page size of an unconfigured object before any memory is allocated. The lack of proper locking allows them to set conflicting page sizes, leaving the object in an inconsistent state that can be exploited to escalate privileges.

Impact Analysis

An unprivileged local user could exploit this to gain elevated privileges on the system, potentially allowing them to execute arbitrary code with higher permissions, access restricted data, or perform unauthorized actions.

Mitigation Strategies

Apply the latest FreeBSD security patches immediately to fix the ioctl race condition in largepage shared memory objects.
