OpenBSD 'tcp_respond()' Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

OpenBSD is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because of a flaw in the affected kernel when processing certain TCP packets.

Exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to trigger kernel panics, denying further service to legitimate users.

OpenBSD 4.2 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
