Re: Urgent !! Serious Linux Security Bug....

[dlarmee () richmond infi net (don larmee)]

Although Win95 displays "Request timed out," my x86 Solaris 2.5 machines
rebooted, nonetheless.  The machines I tested against are essentially out of
the box, however ( i.e., not running under any Jumbo Kernel
Patches,..etc...,) so perhaps a pre-existing patch prevents this....

My Solaris Sparc 2.4, ignored the ping....

My AIX 3.2.5 systems also ignored the ping...

All the above are on Token Ring...
