+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:http://security.freebsd.org/>.
+
+I. Background
+
+The FreeBSD virtual memory system allows growing stack by mapping anonymous
+memory region on top of a stack via mmap(2) system call with MAP_STACK bit
+enabled in flags parameter.
+
+II. Problem Description
+
+The FreeBSD virtual memory system tries to coalesce adjacent memory regions
+into one single object when possible. When growing the stack via mmap(2), it
+will also try to coalesce the newly allocated memory into the existing object.
+This would result in a failed assertion later in vm_map_stack(), which expects
+that a new object is returned.
+
+III. Impact
+
+The system will panic when this happens.
+
+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.
+
+2) 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
+detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
+
+# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:02/mmap.patch
+# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-14:02/mmap.patch.asc
+# gpg --verify mmap.patch.asc
+
+b) Apply the patch.
+
+# cd /usr/src
+# patch < /path/to/patch
+
+c) Recompile your kernel as described in
+<URL:http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the
+system.
+
+3) 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
+
