For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit
<URL:http://www.freebsd.org/security/>.

I. Background

The jail(2) system call allows a system administrator to lock up a
process and all its descendants inside a closed environment with very
limited ability to affect the system outside that environment, even
for processes with superuser privileges. It is an extension of, but
far more stringent than, the traditional Unix chroot(2) system call.

The FreeBSD kernel maintains internal routing tables for the purpose
of determining which interface should be used to transmit packets.
These routing tables can be manipulated by user processes running
with superuser privileges by sending messages over a routing socket.

II. Problem Description

A programming error resulting in a failure to verify that an attempt
to manipulate routing tables originated from a non-jailed process.

III. Impact

Jailed processes running with superuser privileges could modify host
routing tables. This could result in a variety of consequences including
packets being sent via an incorrect network interface and packets being
discarded entirely.

IV. Workaround

No workaround is available.

V. Solution

Do one of the following:

1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 4.10-RELEASE, or to the RELENG_4_8
or RELENG_4_9 security branch dated after the correction date.

OR

2) Patch your present system:

The following patch has been verified to apply to the FreeBSD 4.8 and
4.9 systems.

a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.

# fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-04:12/jailroute.patch
# fetch ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/SA-04:12/jailroute.patch.asc

b) Apply the patch.

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch

c) Recompile your kernel as described in
<URL:http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
system.

[thor]

Übersetz doch das Teil bitte oder schreib zumindest einen deutschen Kommentar dazu, dies ist ein deutschsprachiges Webprojekt (*meine Ohren klingeln*).

Hatte die Advisory auch, aber noch keine Zeit zum Übersetzen, daher hab ich lieber gewartet, bis jemand Zeit hat.

Think about it.

Das sehe ich genauso.
Die Stamm-User hier stehen sicher eh alle in der Security Mailingliste - die müssen das hier nicht nochmal lesen.
Aber was sollen die Anfänger aus diesem Copy&Paste Zeug für sich schlussfolgern? --> NIX.

Ehrlich gesagt, vermisse ich grunix's Threads. Er hatte das immer schön übersichtlich, auf deutsch und vor allem auf den Punkt dargebracht. Man konnte sofort auf einen Blick für sich entnehmen, ob einen das Sicherheitsloch betrifft.

Hoffe die andren nehmen sich das auch zu Herzen.
