I forwarded your mail to -current the other day after I verified the problem,
since thats where most of the developers hang out, and the answer is that it's
a bug for which a patch is under consideration for committing (unless I
misunderstood Don Lewis's message, it's a legitimate vulnerability in the
networking code). Presumably a security advisory will be issued once the fix
is available and tested.

If you need to patch this immediately, I can forward you a copy of the latest
proposed patch I've seen, which might however have other unforseen
consequences (i.e. it's not "official").

Kris
