this just in from the bugtraq mailing list. i figure *some* of us probably aren't on that. i also don't expect thousands of people to be trying this exploit, but given that it's just gone out on bugtraq, if your toaster panics anytime soon, you might want to bear this in mind.
needless to say, i haven't tried it. anyone want to have a go?
If you get a crash, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease send us the core dump - we have no FreeBSD machines in house (Linux seems to be the preferred flavor amongst UNIX-on-PC people here, at least in engineering).
