Additionally, it was discovered that the patch applied to kfreebsd-9 in DSA-3175-1 for CVE-2015-1414 was incomplete. For reference the original advisory text follows: Mateusz Kocielski and Marek Kroemeke discovered that an integer overflow in IGMP processing may result in denial of service through malformed IGMP packets. For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 9.0-10+deb70.10. We recommend that you upgrade your kfreebsd-9 packages.
