Good day, folks. I am seeking clarification of statements in https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-24:18.ctl.asc. Section III, Impact says “A malicious guest could cause a Denial of Service (DoS) on the host.” Does this imply that only FreeBSD systems acting as a Virtualization Manager are impacted? Or could other VM hosts be impacted by a FreeBSD guest? And are bare metal installations affected at all? Also, I am unfamiliar with ctld(8) – is it only used with virtualization, or could it be used in the aforementioned bare metal FreeBSD, and for what purpose? Thank you.
