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."

    Shut up retard. You may have noticed that the article was for OpenBSD not FreeBSD. You're cut+paste troll is for FreeBSD. Even if you were talking about OpenBSD, why did they patch the OS then? Cuz it's still under active development, that's why. In fact, OpenBSD 3.6 is due Nov 1st. FreeBSD 5.3 will be out a few weeks. DragonFly BSD released 1.0 one month ago.

    BSD is dying my ass.
