Last modified

CVE-2024-41928 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.4/10 on the CVSS scale. Malicious software running in a guest VM can exploit the buffer overflow to achieve code execution on the host in the bhyve userspace process, which typically runs as root. Note that bhyve runs in a Capsicum sandbox, so malicious code is constrained by the capabilities available to the bhyve process.. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
