Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52648
Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-04:06.ipv6.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-04:06.ipv6.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-04:06.ipv6.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
IPv6 is a new Internet Protocol, designed to replace (and avoid many of
the problems with) the current Internet Protocol (version 4). FreeBSD
uses the KAME Project IPv6 implementation.

Applications may manipulate the behavior of an IPv6 socket using the
setsockopt(2) system call.

A programming error in the handling of some IPv6 socket options within
the setsockopt(2) system call may result in memory locations being
accessed without proper validation. While the problem originates in
code from the KAME Project, it does not affect other operating systems.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.
