[Secure-testing-team] Bug#776415: kfreebsd-10: CVE-2014-8612: SCTP kernel mem disclosure/corruption

[Steven Chamberlain]

Package: kfreebsd-10
Version: 10.1~svn274115-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch

Hi,

A kernel memory disclosure/corruption vulnerability was announced,
in the FreeBSD kernel's implementation of SCTP:
https://security.FreeBSD.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-15:02.kmem.asc

This could affect the kfreebsd-10 package if SCTP is used.  A patch
from upstream should be uploaded soon fixing this.

kfreebsd-9 in stable is not affected, since the last security upload
9.0-10+deb70.8 already disabled this protocol.

kfreebsd-8 does not receive regular security updates, but we may decide
to disable SCTP there too.

kfreebsd-11 experimental will be affected until updated to a newer
snapshot.
