DescriptionCVE.org

The ZFS_IOC_SET_PROP ioctl, used by zfs-set(8), incorrectly validated the calling user such that an unprivileged user is able to set metadata on a dataset indicating that the dataset has received properties from a zfs-recv(8) stream.

Any local user can set the internal ZFS metadata flag "$hasrecvd" on datasets via ZFS_IOC_SET_PROP.

AnalysisAI

Incorrect authorization in FreeBSD's ZFS_IOC_SET_PROP ioctl allows any local unprivileged user to set the internal '$hasrecvd' metadata flag on ZFS datasets - a capability that should be restricted to privileged ZFS receive operations. Affected release lines span FreeBSD 14.3, 14.4, 15.0, and 15.1 prior to their respective patch levels, as confirmed by FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-26:40.zfs. …
