There are barely any details at all:

http://jvndb.jvn.jp/en/contents/2014/JVNDB-2014-000134.html

It is an "issue in the handling of the TCP session timer, which may
lead to a denial-of-service".

"When a sepcially crafted packet from a malicious server is received,
a condition where client resources are not released may occur".

https://jvn.jp/en/jp/JVN07930208/index.html

"This JVN publication was delayed to 2014/11/21 after developer fixes
were developed";  only a few proprietary systems are mentioned as
'not vulnerable'.

On the day of publication, the FreeBSD bug was opened by a third party
with still no additional details.  It doesn't seem that JVN notified
OpenBSD either.
