No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

The ipfw firewall in FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (firewall crash) via ICMP IP fragments that match a reset, reject or unreach action, which leads to an access of an uninitialized pointer.
