Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security
branches, and the following sections, please visit

I. Background
The netstat(1) utility displays the contents of various network related data
structures.
II. Problem Description
The netstat(1) utility incorrectly handles reported values on 32-bit systems.
III. Impact
Due to how netstat(1) processes IPSEC counters, the utility may produce
incorrect output on 32-bit systems.
IV. Workaround
No workaround is available, however systems without IPSEC compiled into the
kernel are not affected.
V. Solution
Perform one of the following:
1) Upgrade your system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security
branch (releng) dated after the correction date.
2) To update your present 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
3) To update your present 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
