Hi,
Does anybody knows whether is Linux 2.2.17 vulnerable to ping of death -
especially the kind of ping with a large size? I tried the following:
ping -s 65000 -n -f x.y.z.w
Where x.y.z.w is the IP address of my machine in which the ethernet
interface is heavily guarded with ipchains firewall rules. I've found that
after pinging for about 30 seconds, the ethernet interface is no more able
to receive packets. I've found that without guarding the interface with
ipchains, the problem does not exist.
