CVE-2026-49416

HIGH

FreeBSD - Integer Overflow in Vt(4) CONS_HISTORY Ioctl

Title source: rule
STIX 2.1

Description

The CONS_HISTORY ioctl handler did not adequately validate the requested history size. A large value caused an integer overflow in the buffer size calculation, resulting in a heap allocation smaller than expected. Subsequent initialization of the buffer wrote beyond the end of the allocation. An unprivileged local user with access to a vt(4) device can trigger an out-of-bounds write in the kernel, potentially escalating privileges.
