+	<h1>Problem Description:</h1>
+	<p>FreeBSD 12.0 attempts to handle the case where the
+	receiving process does not provide a sufficiently large
+	buffer for an incoming control message containing rights.
+	In particular, to avoid leaking the corresponding descriptors
+	into the receiving process' descriptor table, the kernel
+	handles the truncation case by closing descriptors referenced
+	by the discarded message.</p>
+	<p>The code which performs this operation failed to release
+	a reference obtained on the file corresponding to a received
+	right. This bug can be used to cause the reference counter
+	to wrap around and free the file structure.</p>
+	<h1>Impact:</h1>
+	<p>A local user can exploit the bug to gain root privileges
+	or escape from a jail.</p>
