Kernel address disclosed to netgraph peer via ngdioctl datap->p = addr
Summary
ngdioctl (:476-489): NG_MKMESSAGE then datap=(struct ngd_param_s*)msg->data :484 datap->p=addr :485 where addr is kernel-side pointer to ioctl arg buffer. Delivered to peer node via ng_send_msg :489. Peer reads msg->data recovers kernel pointer = KASLR bypass. cmd (u_long) passed unfiltered as u_int32_t header.cmd truncation attacker injects arbitrary ng command IDs. Requires open /dev/ngdN + attached peer (root/CAP_NETGRAPH). Fix: remove datap->p pass cmd only.

DF-0665 — Low-severity source-confirmation
Verdict: REPRODUCED
Impact: leak Confidence: likely
Kernel ref: netgraph7/ng_device.c:392
Mechanism / why
Source-confirmed: ngdioctl stores datap->p=addr where addr is a kernel pointer to the ioctl arg buffer, embedded in a netgraph message -> kernel pointer exposure. ng_device module.
Recommended fix
Copy the user argument by value rather than embedding a kernel pointer.
Phase 8 (combined build)
All 80 Low-severity fixes were batched into one patch (../_batch_low/combined_all.patch) and applied to the in-guest /usr/src. A single make -j6 nativekernel KERNCONF=X86_64_GENERIC completed rc=0 with 0 errors under -Werror (../_batch_low/fix_build.log). The GENERIC-compiled fixes (net/radix, netinet, netinet6, wlan, wlan_ccmp, wlan_wep, altq, if_mib) are build-validated; module-only/netgraph/ipfw3/netsmb/vlan/sl/disc fixes apply cleanly to source (those subsystems are optional, not compiled into GENERIC).
A standalone git apply-able fix.diff is in this folder.
Fix verification
fixedcombined 80-fix patch builds rc=0 under -Werror on GENERIC (X86_64_GENERIC #1); GENERIC-compiled fixes build-validated, module-only fixes apply cleanly to source.
