Malformed Packet Causes Cisco Router DoS

MoreBeer writes "Patch 'em if you've got 'em... Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Malformed OSPF Packet Causes Reload states that a malformed OSPF packet can cause a router 'reload' (reboot). Vulnerable IOS versions include 12.0S, 12.2, and 12.3 ... If you're not screening OSPF at your perimeter and using OSPF Authentication, now would be a GREAT time to start."

Re:The IT color scheme BLOWS!

You mean, like this? They've already used that color scheme for the "Linux" section, so they had to come up with something even more diabolical. One gentleman had the right idea. Set up your proxy to redirect xyz.slashdot.org to plain old slashdot.org.

Karma be damned...

I agree. We should be fair to the IT color scheme and read the story in another scheme that also uses colors not found in nature.

Here you go!
