II. Who is vulnerable Any system shipped with network daemons launched through inetd (FreeBSD, SuSE, Red Hat, etc.).
FreeBSD doesn't run anything through inetd by default. You have to manually edit inetd.conf to enable anything, and there is a warning screen during the install process about doing so. Additionally, FreeBSD's stock inetd has the following options: -c maximum Specify the default maximum number of simultaneous invocations of each service; the default is unlimited. May be overridden on a per-service basis with the "max-child" parameter. -C rate Specify the default maximum number of times a service can be invoked from a single IP address in one minute; the default is unlimited. May be overridden on a per-service basis with the "max-connections-per-ip-per-minute" parameter. -R rate Specify the maximum number of times a service can be invoked in one minute; the default is 256. A rate of 0 allows an unlimited number of invocations. -s maximum Specify the default maximum number of simultaneous invocations of each service from a single IP address; the default is unlimited. May be overridden on a per-service basis with the "max-child-per-ip" parameter.
