-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 ============================================================================= FreeBSD-EN-22:17.cam Errata Notice The FreeBSD Project Topic: Kernel memory corruption during SCSI error recovery Category: core Module: cam Announced: 2022-08-09 Affects: All supported versions of FreeBSD. Corrected: 2022-05-03 20:32:45 UTC (stable/13, 13.1-STABLE) 2022-08-09 20:01:20 UTC (releng/13.1, 13.1-RELEASE-p1) 2022-08-09 20:00:26 UTC (releng/13.0, 13.0-RELEASE-p12) 2022-05-04 01:04:43 UTC (stable/12, 12.3-STABLE) 2022-08-09 19:59:40 UTC (releng/12.3, 12.3-RELEASE-p6) For general information regarding FreeBSD Errata Notices and Security Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the following sections, please visit . I. Background CAM (Common Access Method) is a FreeBSD kernel subsystem which handles various aspects of storage device management. Among other responsibilities, it handles device error recovery and can automatically retransmit commands to peripheral devices when a transient error is encountered. II. Problem Description When a CAM-managed device responds to a command with an error condition, CAM may automatically retry the command following some error recovery protocol. For instance, it may send a SCSI START UNIT command to the device before retrying the failed command. In this case, an in-memory copy of the original command is preserved for a later retry. However, a specific portion of the command state was not saved correctly, and upon a retry this could lead to memory corruption. III. Impact The bug can cause kernel panics or other system-level misbehaviour. IV. Workaround No workaround is available. V. Solution Upgrade your 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 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 an errata update" 2) To update your 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/EN-22:17/cam.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-22:17/cam.patch.asc # gpg --verify cam.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 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/ 84849cfd1dc0 stable/13-n250673 releng/13.1/ db8082886fd8 releng/13.1-n250149 releng/13.0/ 5430423b6d63 releng/13.0-n244803 stable/12/ r372069 releng/12.3/ r372378 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- For FreeBSD 13 and later: Run the following command to see which files were modified by a particular commit: # git show --stat Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the hash: 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 For FreeBSD 12 and earlier: Run the following command to see which files were modified by a particular revision, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number: # svn diff -cNNNNNN --summarize svn://svn.freebsd.org/base Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number: VII.
