It was mentioned on freebsd-net a few days ago. Jordan said someone was
working on a fix. The kernel message mentioned seems to only occur in
an old sound driver:
% find . -type f -print | xargs fgrep -i "list empty"
./i386/isa/sound/gustest/Attic/midithru.c,v: if (!nlen) {fprintf(stderr, "Free list empty but no notes playing\n");return;} /* No notes playing */
Which seems unlikely to be involved with the attack.
David.
