My VP just came in to tell me that there is a potential vulnerability in
some Unixes, Linux and Windows95. Apparently, a program called teardrop
allows potential attackers to send a packet that causes IP fragmentation,
crashing the box.
Anyone heard of it? Patched it?
Thanks, will summarize,
Sheryl
