Abstract
========

A signedness issue in the azalia(4) and hdaudio(4) drivers allows a
local attacker to cause a kernel panic.


Technical Details
=================

The azalia_query_devinfo() function in azalia(4) and the
hdaudio_afg_set_port() function in hdaudio(4) incorrectly assume
the mixer index to be an unsigned integer, thus not checking for
negative values. Since the mixer index number is user specified,
any user with access to the mixer can cause an access to a negative
array index by specifying a negative mixer number, leading to a
kernel panic.

In order to exploit the vulnerability, the azalia(4) or hdaudio(4)
driver must be loaded and at least one azalia(4) or hdaudio(4)
device must be present in the machine and configured by the kernel


Solutions and Workarounds
=========================

As a possible workaround, the azalia(4) and hdaudio(4) drivers can
be disabled. This can be achieved either by specifying the
configuration parameter at boot and disabling the device:

	boot> boot -c
	config> disable azalia
	config> disable hdaudio
	config> boot

or by commenting out the relevant sections of your kernel configuration
file:

	#azalia*        at pci? dev ? function ?        # High Definition Audio
	#hdaudio*       at pci? dev ? function ?        # High Definition Audio

The following instructions describe how to upgrade your kernel
binaries by updating your source tree and rebuilding and
installing a new version of the kernel.

Only kernels compiled with either of the following options are
vulnerable to this issue:

	azalia*        at pci? dev ? function ?
	hdaudio*       at pci? dev ? function ?

As a temporary workaround recompile the kernel with the above option 
commented out.  The default NetBSD GENERIC kernels have the azalia
option enabled, while hdaudio is disabled.

For all NetBSD versions, you need to obtain fixed kernel sources,
build, install the new kernel, and reboot the system.
                                      
The fixed source may be obtained from the NetBSD CVS repository.        
The following instructions briefly summarise how to upgrade your        
kernel.  In these instructions, replace:

  ARCH     with your architecture (from uname -m), and                  
  KERNCONF with the name of your kernel configuration file.    

To update from CVS, build, and install the kernel:

	# cd src
	# cvs update -d -P sys/dev/pci/azalia.c
	# cvs update -d -P sys/dev/pci/hdaudio/hdaudio_afg.c	# Except on NetBSD 4.x
	# ./build.sh kernel=KERNCONF
	# mv /netbsd /netbsd.old
	# cp sys/arch/ARCH/compile/obj/KERNCONF/netbsd /netbsd 
	# shutdown -r now
