HIGH 7.5EPSS 0.24%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.24%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The total size of the user-provided nmreq to nmreq_copyin() was first computed and then trusted during the copyin. This time-of-check to time-of-use bug could lead to kernel memory corruption. On systems configured to include netmap in their devfs_ruleset, a privileged process running in a jail can affect the host environment.
