David told me the patch is not needed and only 2.2.x and 2.4.0-pre are affected. David? Correct. The 2.3.x/2.4.x branch of the code had the fix made in revision 1.71 of net/ipv4/icmp.c which equates to August 8th, 2000 which equates to 2.4.0-test6-pre2 or -pre3. :-)
On the 2.2.x side, 2.2.18 has the fix. There is one, and only one change, in that patch, to the file net/ipv4/icmp.c and it is the fix in question.
It is really unfortunate that the bugtraq reporter failed to even bother to mention what kernel he was using. It could have avoided a lot of the confusion surrounding this (already fixed) bug. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
