Solaris 2.5.1/2.6 fingerd bug

Well it seems that Sun reintroduced the finger forwarding and finger DoS into Solaris 2.5.1 and 2.6. try finger @host@host@host....145 times.... This should run the # of processes in excess of 1500 and shoot the system load up to at least 13.5. You can also do a finger @hosta@hostb where hostb is a machine running 2.5.1 or 2.6. Now this has not been confirmed on Solaris (x86). The bug id is 4161606 but yet there is no patch available as of today. -Fiji
