This will at least hang the networking of the system if triggered.


According to Karsten Keil just ESP fragment packets need to be accepted
by the kernel to trigger the condition.
We think this might be true for all 2.6 kernels (ever since esp.c got added).

Quick response (burried today) but I think this is already allocated CVE-2007-6282
