For those not active on the security lists there may be a new kernel
vulnerability called ABFrag.  It is rumoured to attack the TCP/IP
stack to overflow the kernel on Linux and *BSD systems.  Of course
there is quite a bit of skepticism about the existence of the
vulnerability because of cross platform issues when it comes to
kernel exploits but at least two people have reported incidents
involving ABFrag.  

Could this be the much-rumoured OpenBSD kernel vuln? Anybody seen
this in the wild?
