Descriptions

The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) module in FreeBSD 9.3 before p33, 10.1 before p26, and 10.2 before p9, when the kernel is configured for IPv6, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure or NULL pointer dereference and kernel panic) via a crafted ICMPv6 packet.

El módulo Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) en FreeBSD 9.3 en versiones anteriores a p33, 10.1 en versiones anteriores a p26 y 10.2 en versiones anteriores a p9, cuando el kernel está configurado para IPv6, permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (fallo de aserción o referencia a puntero NULL y kernel panic) a través de un paquete ICMPv6 manipulado.

FreeBSD suffers from an SCTP ICMPv6 error processing denial of service vulnerability.
