Not for the listen socket in FreeBSD... I patched that locally.


General comment for all the others on the issue as well:

There's quite a bit of things to fix in the input path validation to do still
it turns out;  seems we are still accepting unsigned RSTs despite a policy
in place to mandate MD5 between the hosts etc...

I am trying to get the SYN cache breakage fixed currently to get the status
quo back to what was expected and am finding other things in the stack etc
that distract me and get improved along the lines...  anyway, I am hopeful
to have a patch for the first issue later today.  It's a bit intrusive as
I indeed started to clean some things up also preparing for more.

I'll keep everyone informed.
