Hi,

FreeBSD-SA-14:17.kmem describes kernel memory disclosures in
SCTP control messages:

http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-14:17.kmem.asc
> [...] the process may be able to retrieve 2 bytes of kernel memory
> for all three control messages, plus 92 bytes for SCTP_SNDRCV and 76
> bytes for SCTP_EXTRCV.  If the local process is permitted to receive
> SCTP notification, a maximum of 112 bytes of kernel memory may be
> returned to userland.

I think this affects all our kernels including 8.3 and 9.0 in wheezy.

I'm not sure if SCTP must be configured by a superuser first, but for
now I'll assume any nonprivileged user might be able to exploit this.
