+FreeBSD-EN-16:05.hv_netvsc Errata Notice
+ The FreeBSD Project
+
+Topic: hv_netvsc(4) incorrect TCP/IP checksums
+
+Category: core
+Module: hyperv
+Announced: 2016-03-16
+Credits: Larry Baird
+Affects: FreeBSD 10.2
+Corrected: 2015-12-18 14:56:49 UTC (stable/10, 10.2-STABLE)
+ 2016-03-16 22:31:04 UTC (releng/10.2, 10.2-RELEASE-p14)
+
+For general information regarding FreeBSD Errata Notices and Security
+Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security
+branches, and the following sections, please visit
+<URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
+
+I. Background
+
+Hyper-V is a native hypervisor running on Windows operating system. It can
+run FreeBSD 10.x as guest in virtual machine.
+
+When FreeBSD guest runs on Hyper-V, to get the best network performance,
+it usually uses the Hyper-V synthetic network device. The driver of the
+network device is called hv_netvsc(4). Since FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE the
+driver supports TCP segmentation and TCP/IP checksum offloading.
+
+II. Problem Description
+
+Together with the TCP segmentation and TCP/IP checksum offloading a regression
+was introduced. The driver checked the inbound checksum flags when deciding
+whether to process checksums or not, while it should have checked the outbound
+flags only.
+
+III. Impact
+
+If the guest running on Hyper-V is configured as a gateway, the host will
+silently drop certain packets from the guest.
+
+IV. Workaround
+
+No workaround is available.
+
+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. Reboot is required.
+
+2) To update your 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
+
+Reboot is required.
+
+3) To update your 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
+detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
+
+# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-16:05/hv_netvsc.patch
+# fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-16:05/hv_netvsc.patch.asc
+# gpg --verify hv_netvsc.patch.asc
+
+b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:
+
+# cd /usr/src
+# patch < /path/to/patch
+
+c) Recompile your kernel as described in
+<URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
+system.
+
+VI. Correction details
+
+The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each
+affected branch.
