For general information regarding FreeBSD Errata Notices and Security
Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security
branches, and the following sections, please visit
<URL:http://security.freebsd.org/>.

I.   Background

The ciss driver supports HP Smart Array line of hardware RAID controllers.

II.  Problem Description

There is a programming error discovered in the ciss(4) driver, where a missing
lock can trigger a failed assertion when the volume state changes, such as
disk failure or a disk rebuild.

III. Impact

Systems using the ciss(4) driver may experience system crashes or data
corruption when the volume state change.

IV.  Workaround

No workaround is available, but systems that do not use ciss(4) devices are
not affected.

V.   Solution

Perform one of the following:

1) Upgrade your system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security
branch (releng) dated after the correction date.

2) To update your present system via a source code patch:

The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
FreeBSD release branches.

a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.

# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:05/ciss.patch
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:05/ciss.patch.asc
# gpg --verify ciss-10.patch.asc

b) Apply the patch.

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch

c) Recompile your kernel as described in
<URL:http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
system.

3) To update your system via a binary patch:

Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64
platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:

# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install
