OpenBSD Vulnerabilty

Posted by timothy on from the pretty-damn-obscure dept.

*no comment* writes "Normally vulnerability reports on slashdot wouldn't make it because there are so many. This one however is for the normally very secure OpenBSD. Someone can crash an OpenBSD bridge using a newly discovered ICMP exploit. More can be read here. This shouldn't affect most people as this only affects people that use OBSD as a bridge."
