Unfortunately, I don't think this is the case. If a table were being filled up, I'd expect the FW to stay up for some period of time before eventually crashing. Here are some relevant facts: 1. Linux FW crashes -immediately- before it has the opportunity to log a udp packet with tcpdump 2. Scans complete successfully against NT 4.0 and Solaris-x86
There was a problem (kernel lockup) with certain types of UDP packets a few months ago (it could be though that happened only for locally generated packets). All vendors released fixes for these. Could be the scan checks for this vul. Check your vendor's security page for details.
