If it is > still vulnerable, then we need a fix. And we need it now. 2.6.18 should not be vulnerable. See the following changeset in Linus' tree: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blobdiff;h=8859ab74f0fe4c65c8e75b9350a2a0b138615525;hp=9fd87521a1639bd3dae51dcdce48545614d41a85;hb=18232ca61b4c73b849850200a5e6ec40517f35ab;f=drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_net.c Quoting MWS from irc: if the len is smaller than 4 or if dbit set smaller than 4+ealen, just get rid of that packet and interpret as error. the 2.6.18 is not letting them through if they are < sizeof(5), so 4 byte packets would be ignored.
