I have both files, and "igmp" contains data, but "mcfilter" is empty.You are not vulnerable to the remote attack described under (3), however your kernel may be still buggy. Note that you need a running process that has manipulated its multicast socket filters. If your kernel is buggy and you have local users such an application can always appear, at a time you don't expect it.
This afternoon I tried the exploit on my machine, which has exactly those symptoms (data in igmp, mcfilter empty). It froze solid, hard power-cycle required. -- Matthew
