    The latest update. It seems that not many versions of IOS are affected.
    The symptoms can also be strange. It will stop accepting connection, then
    after 30 seconds if may stop accepting processing ICMP echos, and after
    that it stops forwarding packets. So if you perform the test wait a couple
    of minutes and see if it still up before you come to any conclusions. Ivan
    Ganev also reports that testing again port 23 alone would not kill the
    router but testing againts the first 255 ports did.
    
    >From the reports is seem to be the older revisions of IOS (10.X and 11.0)
    in certain hardware configurations and the Cisco 700 Series ISDN access
    routers (not running IOS) are vulnerable.
    
    We keep getting conflicting reports for FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The are
    enough reports and indications that those operating systems are indeed
    vulnerable but the vulnerabilitiy may not show up in all configurations
    depending on the enviroment, the intensity of cosmic rays, the phase of
    the moon, and if the testing person is left or right handed.
    
    An external "land" attack should not be an issue if you are filtering IP
    address spoofing at your ingress routers. You _ARE_ doing so? Correct?
    Well in case you forgot you can find Paul Ferguson's "Network Ingress
    Filtering: Defeating Denial of Service Address Spoofing" Internet Draft at
    ftp://ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ferguson-ingress-filtering-03.txt
    I highly recommend you implement it's recommendations. Of curse you are
    still at the mercy of those behind the filter.
