Description

FreeBSD contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a malicious attacker sends ICMP IP fragments to or through an ipfw firewall which match any reset, reject or unreach actions. Due to the incorrect handling of IP fragments, the pointer to layer 4 header information fails to get initialized, resulting in loss of availability for the platform.
