bhyve(8) privileged guest escape via TPM device passthrough

Published Sep 5, 2024 · Updated Sep 20, 2024 · Assigned by freebsd

Description

Malicious software running in a guest VM can exploit the buffer overflow to achieve code execution on the host in the bhyve userspace process, which typically runs as root. Note that bhyve runs in a Capsicum sandbox, so malicious code is constrained by the capabilities available to the bhyve process.
