Hi... Found this file lying around claiming to exploit an IP overlapping
fragment bug found in "all linux kernels". ;) Said to be able to kill
Linux kernels... Is this something known? It seems far to serious not to
be known and/or fixed. Sorry to bother if that's the case.

See attached code.

/* Newtear.c * Seemingly, a new teardrop type exploit. Affects NT4, and Win95. * * [ http://www.rootshell.com/ ] * * Discovered 01/08/1998 * * Updated notes: * This is a new version of teardrop. It affects NT 4 and Win95 machines with all * current patches and hotfixes. Causes a bluescreen in both operating systems. * Linux appears unaffected, other *NIXes untested. Differences are: * * Smaller padding data size (20 bytes instead of 28 in previous teardrop) * Faked out UDP total length. (Increased reported UDP length to twice what it really is) * * Copyright (c) 1997 route|daemon9 <route@infonexus.com> 11.3.97 * * Linux/NT/95 Overlap frag bug exploit * * Exploits the overlapping IP fragment bug present in all Linux kernels and * NT 4.0 / Windows 95 (others?) * * Based off of: flip.c by klepto * Compiles on: Linux, *BSD* * * gcc -O2 teardrop.c -o teardrop * OR * gcc -O2 teardrop.c -o teardrop -DSTRANGE_BSD_BYTE_ORDERING_THING */
