The ZFSIOCUSERSPACEMANY ioctl, used by zfs-userspace(8), truncated a 64-bit output buffer size to a 32-bit integer for the kernel allocation, but used the original 64-bit size as the buffer limit when writing records.

A local user with the "userused" delegated ZFS permission can trigger a kernel heap overflow via the ZFSIOCUSERSPACEMANY ioctl, potentially escalating privileges.

The ZFSIOCSETPROP ioctl, used by zfs-set(8), incorrectly validated the calling user such that an unprivileged user is able to set metadata on a dataset indicating that the dataset has received properties from a zfs-recv(8) stream.

Any local user can set the internal ZFS metadata flag "$hasrecvd" on datasets via ZFSIOCSETPROP.

The ZFSIOCRECVNEW ioctl, in the heal receive path, similarly truncated a 64-bit payload size to a 32-bit integer for allocation, then used the original 64-bit size as the length for a byteswap operation.

A local user with the "receive" delegated ZFS permission can trigger kernel memory corruption via ZFSIOCRECVNEW by sending a crafted receive stream in heal mode.
