This is a summary of the reports on nmap crashing inetd's and some operating systems. As mentioned elsewhere, as opposed to what SecureXpert Labs seems to think, this is a rather old issue that appears every once in a while. The reports: xinetd on FreeBSD 2.2.7 does not crash when scanned with nmap -sT. Solaris versions earlier than Solaris 7 are affected. Irix 5.3, 6.2, 6.3 inetd's dies by nmap-1.51 with -vv Irix 6.5SE inetd's die with nmap-1.51 -F SunOS 4.1.3 reboots when scanned by nmap-1.51 with -vv. UNICOS 10 inetd's *may* die when scanned by nmap-1.51 -F. No can can seem to crash Windows 98 as reported by SecureXpert Labs. OpenBSD 2.4 seems fine. If anyone can get Windows 98 to crash please let me know as this was really the only *new* information in the SecureXpert advisory.
