S: Anyone heard of Teardrop on DU?

Well, unfortunately, I have very little news to report (hence, the delayed
summary).

I heard from:

Robert Schuhl <robert.schuhl_at_ald-vt.de>
Juha Suhonen <juhas_at_iki.fi>
Paul A Sand <pas_at_unh.edu>

who said:

Didn't affect DUnix 4.0 (or AIX or Solaris or ...), apparently affects
only Linux. I don't have any 3.2 boxes here, but my "professional guess"
would be that they are't vulnerable..

This has appeared on the Bugtraq list. See
http://geek-girl.com/bugtraq/1997_4/0271.html
for the teardrop source code. I haven't tried it
myself.

I was able to acquire the source code, and sent it to a colleague who has
spare DU 3.2 and 4.0 boxes, but have not yet heard from him. I'm cautiously
optimistic ...
I'll let you know if I hear anything else.
Regards,
