The mld_input function in sys/netinet6/mld6.c in the kernel in NetBSD 4.0, FreeBSD, and KAME, when INET6 is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and panic) via a malformed ICMPv6 Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) query with a certain Maximum Response Delay value.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let a malformed IPv6 multicast discovery message crash affected BSD-derived systems. The business impact is availability loss, not data theft, based on the provided sources. Risk depends on whether older NetBSD, FreeBSD, or KAME-derived kernels with IPv6 enabled remain in use. Likely exposure is legacy BSD infrastructure, appliances, or embedded products derived from NetBSD 4.0, FreeBSD, or KAME with IPv6 enabled and MLD processing reachable on relevant network segments. Treat this as a legacy availability risk. Prioritize internet-facing, network-critical, or embedded BSD-derived systems first, especially where outages would affect services or operations. Mitigation focus: Review NetBSD-SA2008-011 and relevant FreeBSD/KAME source fixes.; Update affected kernels using vendor-supported releases or fixed mld6.c revisions.; Identify and retire unsupported BSD-derived systems where patching is unavailable..
