Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-06:08.sack.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-06:08.sack.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-06:08.sack.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
SACK (Selective Acknowledgement) is an extension to the TCP/IP protocol
that allows hosts to acknowledge the receipt of some, but not all, of
the packets sent, thereby reducing the cost of retransmissions.

When insufficient memory is available to handle an incoming selective
acknowledgement, the TCP/IP stack may enter an infinite loop.

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

CVSS Score:
