FreeBSD <= 10 kernel qlxge/qlxgbe Driver IOCTL Multiple Kernel Memory Leak Bugs


1. Overview

The qlxge Driver is Qlogic 10Gb Ethernet Driver for Qlogic 8100
Series CNA Adapter [1]. The qlxgbe for the QLogic 8300 series
of the same ethernet driver.

The qlxge/qlxgbe Driver in freebsd <= 10 has vulnerabilities to leak
arbitrary kernel memory to the userspace. It's occured at qls_eioctl()
/ ql_eioctl() kernel function and because no sanity check.

4. Vendor Status

- 2013/11/12 I discovered two kernel memory leaks.
- 2013/11/14 Report to the vendor of secteam@freebsd.org.
- 2013/11/15 The vendor response with the coordination 
             with the vendor patch code. (will be freebsd's advisory)
- 2013/11/16 Cve-id for each bug request to the cve-assign@mitre.org.
- 2013/11/16 The original advisory released on full-disclosure, bugtraq.
