    For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
    including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.

    I. Background

    The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a message oriented
    transport protocol supporting arbitrary large user messages.
    It can be accessed from applications by using the the socket API.

    II. Problem Description

    Due to improper handling in the kernel, a use-after-free bug can be triggered by sending large user messages from multiple threads on the same socket.

    III. Impact

    Triggering the use-after-free situation may result in unintended kernel behaviour including a kernel panic.

    IV. Workaround

    No workaround is available.

    V. Solution

    Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or
    release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date,
    and reboot.

    Perform one of the following:

    1) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch:

    Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64
    platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility:

    # freebsd-update fetch
    # freebsd-update install
    # shutdown -r +10min "Rebooting for a security update"

    2) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch:

    The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
    FreeBSD release branches.

    a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
    detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.

    [FreeBSD 12.1]
    # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-20:25/sctp.12.1.patch
    # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-20:25/sctp.12.1.patch.asc
    # gpg --verify sctp.12.1.patch.asc

    [FreeBSD 11.4]
    # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-20:25/sctp.11.4.patch
    # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-20:25/sctp.11.4.patch.asc
    # gpg --verify sctp.11.4.patch.asc

    [FreeBSD 11.3]
    # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-20:25/sctp.11.3.patch
    # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-20:25/sctp.11.3.patch.asc
    # gpg --verify sctp.11.3.patch.asc

    b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:

    # cd /usr/src
    # patch < /path/to/patch

    c) Recompile your kernel as described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
    system.

    VI. Correction details

    The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each
    affected branch.

    Branch/path Revision
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- stable/12/ r364644 releng/12.1/ r365256 stable/11/ r364651 releng/11.4/ r365256 releng/11.3/ r365256
    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To see which files were modified by a particular revision, run the
    following command, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number, on a
    machine with Subversion installed:

    # svn diff -cNNNNNN --summarize svn://svn.freebsd.org/base

    Or visit the following URL, replacing NNNNNN with the revision number:
