Re: Urgent !! Serious Linux Security Bug....

Scenario:

Win95 user types 'ping -l 65510 host.running.linux'.

Result:

That machine reboots OR freezes.

On the Linux machine, you need to be running kernel version 2.0.7(It's
the
lowest we run) up to version 2.0.20(The highest we're running).


Actually, I'm running 2.1.1 and it works on that as well...
