    You should come to Europe, we don't have bandwith problems. Maybe because our providers actually work on improving the tubes available instead of finding way to shape the traffic more to their likeness.

    mDNSResponder
    CVE-ID: CVE-2007-2386
    Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.9, Mac OS X Server v10.4.9
    A remote attacker may be able to cause a denial of service or arbitrary code execution
    Description: A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the UPnP IGD (Internet Gateway Device Standardized Device Control Protocol) code used to create Port Mappings on home NAT gateways in the OS X mDNSResponder implementation. By sending a maliciously crafted packet, a remote attacker can trigger the overflow which may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation when processing UPnP protocol packets. This issue does not affect systems prior to Mac OS X v10.4.
