[Secure-testing-team] Bug#766275: kfreebsd-9: CVE-2014-3711: memory leak in sandboxed namei lookup

[Steven Chamberlain]

Package: src:kfreebsd-9
Version: 9.0-10+deb70.7
Severity: important
Tags: security patch upstream

Hi,

kfreebsd 9.0 (not officially supported upstream) seems vulnerable to the
same issue described in 9.1 and later:
http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-14:22.namei.asc

I doubt any Debian GNU packages are using the affected Capsicum code,
but if they did, could allow for remote DoS (kernel memory exhaustion).

kfreebsd-10 in sid/jessie is affected, but a newer snapshot of
upstream SVN will fix it (already pending in our packaging SVN).
