The Register site seems to be down at the moment... The link is good.
The article discusses the fact that someone tried to slide in a C line
(actually 2 lines) that trashed the tcp stack allowing a negative offset
in a fragment to crash the stack (if I remember somewhat accurately)
Luckily it was caught before it was rolled in to the official distro.
The thoughts that goes through one's mind are interesting while reading
this... Bill G. has lots of money, I wonder how much this would have
dented his pocketbook? :-)
