Hi,

I have dozen production FreeBSD firewalls that been working for a year and some, 
without any problems under heavy utilization. As a matter of upkeep/security, I cvsup 
them and go thru the buildworld, kernel, mergemaster, etc; haven't had much problem.

In the last couple of months, upgraded to 4.6 and 4.7 using RELENG_4 with again no 
errors, however, now under a light smurf attack, I get:

panic: icmp_error: bad length

syncing disks... 1
done
Uptime: 1h12m58s
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
Rebooting...

I have found couple of posting on FreeBSD sites, google, dogpile, etc pointing to a 
patch for netinet/ip_icmp.c which seems to have been incorporated into the 4.6 tree; 
not sure though.

I have tried building the kernel with RELENG_4_7 to no avail still panics. 
Also tried to down rev the kernel to 4.4, 4.5 using the kernel file on the same 
machine that I had saved prior to upgrade, which is holding up better, but still 
panics frequently.

Hardware: Dell PowerEdge 350, 2 built-in Intel nic cards, 256 meg of ram and only 
doing ipfw. 
The kernel is built with options BRIDGE.  Don't know what other info you might be 
interested.

Deeply appreciate any help or info. 

Regards,
Patrick Soltani
