[debian-knoppix] Linux Kernel 2.6: Remote DoS vulnerability with IPTables TCP Handling



Seen at the Gentoo site (July 14, 2004):

"Synopsis
A flaw has been discovered in 2.6 series Linux kernels that allows an attacker to send a malformed TCP packet, causing the affected kernel to possibly enter an infinite loop and hang the vulnerable machine."

see more on:

Does this implies an update of the 2.6 knoppix kernel?
