Vendor Solution
Update to DragonFly BSD 6.6 once released (the maintainers have confirmed the fix will be included), or apply commit 4bb22ffcf2e9fb44995fbfd9945194afc87fb182 from master, which rejects ARP packets whose ar_hln is not ETHER_ADDR_LEN in arpintr() and whose ar_pln is not sizeof(struct in_addr) in in_arpinput().

| Description | In DragonFly BSD through 6.4.2 before 4bb22ff, the ARP input handlers arpintr() and in_arpinput() (sys/netinet/if_ether.c) do not validate the hardware address length (ar_hln) and protocol address length (ar_pln) fields of incoming ARP packets. in_arpreply() then uses these attacker-controlled values as memcpy lengths when copying from kernel buffers that are only 6 and 4 bytes long, resulting in an out-of-bounds read of kernel heap and stack memory that is copied into the ARP reply sent back to the requester. An unauthenticated attacker on the adjacent network can use a single crafted ARP request to disclose up to roughly 250 bytes of each type of kernel memory, including kernel pointers. This is expected to be fixed in the 6.6 stable release when that is available. | |
