Cross-jail TTY disclosure via unfiltered kern.ttys
Published Feb 15, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Information disclosure in FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE through p9 and 14.0-RELEASE through p4 allows local users to read TTY allocation data. The kern.ttys sysctl omits jail-based filtering and returns allocated terminal records from the host and other jails to the current jail. A user with code execution inside a jail can obtain the terminal allocation information exposed by pstat -t without altering host or jail state.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=13.2-RELEASE <p10
- Affected versionversion=14.0-RELEASE <p5
