Hi,

> Do you have a link for that exploit? 

  After some "mind flash back" searching in all the places were I usually 
surf, I finally found it :))

  You can see the announcement in spanish in:

http://barrapunto.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/2018205&mode=thread

  They give a link from debian in english:

http://www.debian.org/security/2003/dsa-311

  The related bug announcement can be found here:

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2003-0244

  The bug can cause a DOS attack (CPU reaching 100%) if badly configured 
packages enter the network and "play" with the routing table. Actually we 
suffered this problem when the local net of a firewall we were managing was 
infected by a virus that started to "fill the network" with stupid packages.

  The firewall (bering) just blowed up :( as its CPU was completelly 
saturated. The client tried to say it was our fault untill other linux 
systems in his net also came down :)

  Hope it helps.
