Hey, I'm wondering if the DOS attack described in http://www.securiteam.com/unixfocus/6B0080U35E.html has been fixed. I am working with the version of Tux shipping with RedHat 7.2 (tux-2.1.0-2.i386.rpm), and I can crash my computer with Nessus' Imail Host: overflow (http://cgi.nessus.org/plugins/dump.php3?id=10496) script. Maybe another script works, too, but I'm still looking into this. Of course, allowing the world to shut down my server is a thing that I don't like so much :/ Greetings, Johann
