In FreeBSD before 11.1-STABLE, 11.2-RELEASE-p3, 11.1-RELEASE-p14, 10.4-STABLE, and 10.4-RELEASE-p12, insufficient validation in the ELF header parser could allow a malicious ELF binary to cause a kernel crash or disclose kernel memory.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-6924 affects FreeBSD systems that process a malicious ELF binary. The flaw can crash the kernel or disclose kernel memory, creating availability and confidentiality risk. The source bundle does not provide CVSS, CWE, or confirmed exploitation evidence. Exposure is most likely on FreeBSD 10.4, 11.1, or 11.2 systems below the fixed branch or patch levels. Risk depends on whether attackers, users, or applications can introduce and execute untrusted ELF binaries. Handle as a scheduled security update with higher priority for shared, externally exposed, or business-critical FreeBSD systems. The main business risks are kernel crash and possible kernel memory disclosure. Mitigation focus: Upgrade FreeBSD systems to the fixed branch or patch level named by FreeBSD.; Review FreeBSD-SA-18:12 for branch-specific remediation guidance.; Prioritize internet-facing or multi-user FreeBSD hosts for patch validation..
