[Steven Chamberlain <steven@pyro.eu.org>]

Package: src:kfreebsd-8

Severity: important

Hi,

Errata notice FreeBSD-EN-12:02.ipv6refcount affects the kfreebsd-8
package in squeeze.

http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-12:02.ipv6refcount.asc
> Under high IPv6 network load, reference counts may improperly hit zero
> due to overflow or underflow, causing an IPv6 address, which is still in
> use, to be freed.  This will lead to a kernel panic on next access.

Please apply the patch from the erratum.

Thanks,
Regards,
