Hi,
These two files:
/mit/efoo/Public/ipfrag-patched-kernels/vmlinuz-2.0.30-ipfragpatch
/mit/efoo/Public/ipfrag-patched-kernels/vmlinuz-2.0.18-ipfragpatch
should DTRT -- I've tested the 2.0.30 one on my own machine and it defends
quite well against the exploit. The 2.0.18 one is untested, but ought to
work -- the code modified is only a few lines.
If the SIPB is already putting out some sort of official fix package then
disregard this -- otherwise, should I (or someone from the SIPB proper)
inform the linux-help mailing list about these two kernels? I built them
using the standard RedHat kernel-source RPMs.
I'm getting about 2 attacks on my machine every hour, according to my logs
-- this is getting kind of amusing. :-)
