CVE-2016-1879: The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) module in FreeBSD 9.3 before p33, 10.1 before p26, and 10.2...

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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue lets a remote sender crash affected FreeBSD systems by sending a crafted ICMPv6 packet. The business impact is availability: vulnerable servers can panic and reboot, interrupting services. Exposure is limited to listed FreeBSD versions with IPv6 configured and the SCTP kernel module in scope. Most likely exposure is legacy FreeBSD 9.3, 10.1, or 10.2 systems using IPv6 where SCTP is available in the kernel. Internet-facing hosts, network appliances, or service platforms running those versions deserve priority review. Treat this as a high-priority legacy availability risk if affected FreeBSD systems remain in production. It is not a data-theft issue from the provided evidence, but a remote kernel panic can still cause business interruption. Mitigation focus: Upgrade FreeBSD 9.3 to p33 or later if still in use.; Upgrade FreeBSD 10.1 to p26 or later if still in use.; Upgrade FreeBSD 10.2 to p9 or later if still in use..
