The only one I know of for the Cyberguard 4.0 line was a DoS that you
could do against an SMP equipped model that would cause it to crash.
Just flood it with packets, and as soon as you reach about 50%
utilization on the second CPU, it would crash the box.  Supposedly
Cyberguard fixed this problem, so you probably won't find it in the wild
unless someone hasn't been running the updates.
