           Summary: ipfw NAT vulnerable to simple DOS attacks
           Product: Base System
           Version: 9.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: napTu@front.ru

ipfw NAT vulnerable to DOS attacks by sending ip packets to external ip address
and any port.
In this situation CPU usage goes to 100%.

NAT should find a matched internal address, and, if not, skip the packet to
external ip.

This process (with failed search) take a many time and resources.
