UDP Bomb - By sending a UDP packet with incorrect information in the header, some Sun-OS 4.1.3 Unix boxes will panic and then reboot.Anyone willing to say _what_ this magic incorrect information is? I'd much rather not have to take the time to grab the patch, uncompile both it and the file(s) it replaces, and try to figure it out from there.
sending a bad length field in a UDP packet used to panic sun4.1.x boxes. (by bad I mean something like 0 or 1, smaller than the size of the udp header even). I'm not sure if this is the same bug mentioned.
