+	<h1>Problem Description:</h1>
+	<p>When an ICMPv6 error message is received, the FreeBSD ICMPv6 stack
+	may extract information from the message to hand to upper-layer
+	protocols. As a part of this operation, it may parse IPv6 header
+	options from a packet embedded in the ICMPv6 message.</p>
+	<p>The handler for a routing option caches a pointer into the packet
+	buffer holding the ICMPv6 message. However, when processing
+	subsequent options the packet buffer may be freed, rendering the
+	cached pointer invalid. The network stack may later dereference the
+	pointer, potentially triggering a use-after-free.</p>
+	<h1>Impact:</h1>
+	<p>A remote host may be able to trigger a read of freed kernel memory.
+	This may trigger a kernel panic if the address had been unmapped.</p>
