Has anyone been able to verify that the problem occurs when the TTL expires
"in transit"?
I've been able to get packets stuck on the input queue by sending to the
router's interface address, sending to <network, 0> and <network, -1> but
sending to a router two hops away with a TTL of 1 just gives me an icmp ttl
exceeded & nothing new stuck on the input queue.

The router has problems if it receives a packet, content irrelevant,
that makes it to supervisor level claiming an IP protocol that it
doesn't have code to handle.
The kickup to supervisor level happens when the packet is targeted
directly at the router's IP address (per first Cisco advisory) or just
has its TTL expire in transit past the router (per revised Cisco
advisory).
Send enough packets (default 75), and the input queue is full. hping is
enough of a launch platform for that--there's no need for
questionable-source exploit binaries when testing.
