Can't copy the posting itself, so here's a summary. The test of the original advisory is available at: http://www.cartel-securite.fr/pbiondi/adv/CARTSA-20030314-icmpleak.txt
The Linux kernel 2.0 (upto and including 2.0.39) sends unnecessary data on some ICMP responses. This can lead to contents of memory being sent back to the host that the ICMP is going to. Kernel 2.0.40, which fixes this problem, should be released soon. Please upgrade if you're still using Linux kernel 2.0.
