UDP Bomb
By sending a UDP packet with incorrect information in the header, a potential
intruder can cause some Sun-OS 4.1.3 UNIX machines to reboot. This is a problem
found frequently on many firewalls that are on top of a Sun-OS machine. This
could be a high risk vulnerability if your is on that machine.
This allows an intruder to disrupt services on your network. If there is a
trusted host relationship, an intruder can break it and possibly gain access if a
trusted host is down.
Risk: Medium
OS Vulnerable: SunOS
Fix: Sun Patch ID # 100567-04.
