Anyone know how soon we will have an updated kernel RPM from Redhat that
has the fix in the kernel for the ping from Windows 95 bug that is
currently in existance?
Don't know what I mean? Ping YOUR Linux box from a Windows 95 machine
with the following command:
ping -l 65510 hostname.of.yours
It will instantly reboot without any signs at all. As you can guess
this can be a major problem for companies that are using Linux to run a
WWW server.
Thanks,
