Unscored CVE-2023-5978 EUVD-2023-58245GHSA-v58r-qqjm-f9wh

Incorrect libcap_net limitation list manipulation

Published Nov 8, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025 · Assigned by freebsd

Description

In versions of FreeBSD 13-RELEASE before 13-RELEASE-p5, under certain circumstances the cap_net libcasper(3) service incorrectly validates that updated constraints are strictly subsets of the active constraints.  When only a list of resolvable domain names was specified without setting any other limitations, an application could submit a new list of domains including include entries not previously listed.  This could permit the application to resolve domain names that were previously restricted.
