CVE-2026-101309 PUBLISHED

Multiple vulnerabilities in bhyve device models

Assigner: freebsd
Reserved: 28.09.2026 Published: 15.10.2026 Updated: 15.10.2026

The xHCI (USB 3) device model did not validate or save the event ring size provided by the guest. The size was re-read from guest memory on each use, and Transfer Request Block (TRB) fields were loaded without protection against concurrent modification by the guest. This race condition could be triggered by a guest running malicious, privileged code.

A malicious guest can crash the bhyve process or potentially execute arbitrary code in the host userspace context running the virtual machine, subject to bhyve's Capsicum sandbox.
