Package        : kfreebsd-9
CVE ID         : CVE-2014-3711 CVE-2014-3952 CVE-2014-3953 CVE-2014-8476

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the FreeBSD kernel that
may lead to a denial of service or information disclosure.

CVE-2014-3711

    Denial of service through memory leak in sandboxed namei lookups.

CVE-2014-3952

    Kernel memory disclosure in sockbuf control messages.

CVE-2014-3953

    Kernel memory disclosure in SCTP. This update disables SCTP, since the
    userspace tools shipped in Wheezy didn't support SCTP anyway.

CVE-2014-8476

    Kernel stack disclosure in setlogin() and getlogin().

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 9.0-10+deb70.8.

We recommend that you upgrade your kfreebsd-9 packages.
