I notified security-officer@{free,open,net}bsd.org on Feburary
17th. From examining OpenBSD source code, it appears to have the
flaw. I have confirmed that NetBSD is vulnerable. I have been unable
to actually test the vulnerability on an operational OpenBSD system. I
have not heard anything from either NetBSD or OpenBSD, and no changes
related to this bug appear to have been committed to their code. Patches
for NetBSD and OpenBSD are attached below.

        the changes were made into both openbsd and netbsd repository
        as shown below:

        http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/netinet/tcp_input.c.diff?r1=1.109&r2=1.110
        http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/syssrc/sys/netinet/tcp_input.c.diff?r1=1.136&r2=1.137

        thank you for the report.
