Cisco Vulnerability (updated?)

Wed Jul 23 20:32:42 UTC 2003

Apparently protocol 103 does not need to have a ttl of 0 or 1 when it
hits the interface in order to cause the DoS ...  Cisco has updated
their advisory to reflect this (Version 1.9 now)..

Just wanted to alert everyone...

This makes the thought of some sort of virus causing this even more
realistic..  no need to check ttl's, just fire away with protocol
103...  Yikes...
