+	<h1>Problem Description:</h1>
+	<p>A researcher has notified us of a DoS attack applicable
+	to another operating system. While FreeBSD may not be
+	vulnerable to that exact attack, we have identified several
+	places where inadequate DoS protection could allow an
+	attacker to consume system resources.</p>
+	<p>It is not necessary that the attacker be able to establish
+	two-way communication to carry out these attacks. These
+	attacks impact both IPv4 and IPv6 fragment reassembly.</p>
+	<h1>Impact:</h1>
+	<p>In the worst case, an attacker could send a stream of
+	crafted fragments with a low packet rate which would consume
+	a substantial amount of CPU.</p>
+	<p>Other attack vectors allow an attacker to send a stream
+	of crafted fragments which could consume a large amount of
+	CPU or all available mbuf clusters on the system.</p>
+	<p>These attacks could temporarily render a system unreachable
+	through network interfaces or temporarily render a system
+	unresponsive. The effects of the attack should clear within
+	60 seconds after the attack stops.</p>
