CVE-2018-17160
Estado: ModificadaCrítica (10)—
In FreeBSD before 11.2-STABLE(r341486) and 11.2-RELEASE-p6, insufficient bounds checking in one of the device models provided by bhyve can permit a guest operating system to overwrite memory in the bhyve host possibly permitting arbitrary code execution. A guest OS using a firmware image can cause the bhyve process to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code on the host as root.

Un sistema operativo invitado que emplea una imagen de firmware puede provocar que el proceso bhyve se cierre inesperadamente, así como la posible ejecución de código arbitrario en el host como root."
