Hi, I tried the local denial of service attack described in [1], that was reported for Linux 2.4 and 2.6 some days ago (see [2] for the original thread in linux.kernel) on my FreeBSD 5.2.1-p8 system. The result is a kernel panic (back trace attached). Since des_at_ told me in a private mail, that he could not reprocduce the panic on -CURRENT, I'd like to ask how to proceed from here. Is the problem known to be fixed in current? Is somebody able to reproduce this on FreeBSD 5.2.1 (I am sorry, upgrading to -CURRENT is out of question for me)? Please note, that the problem does not exist on FreeBSD 4.9 (the test program simply dumps core (bt attached)). Thanks in advance for your hints, Simon [1] http://linuxreviews.org/news/2004-06-11_kernel_crash/#toc1 [2] http://groups.google.de/groups?hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&frame=right&th=f7580d647408b95b&seekm=26hGq-Zr-31%40gated-at.bofh.it#link1
