NEXTSTEP Information

Information for NEXTSTEP

Next have run some tests on this, and have come up with the following results: Note these results are with a 32768 byte packet

NEXTSTEP sparc 3.3, 4.0, 4.1      not vulnerable
NEXTSTEP hppa  3.3, 4.0           not vulnerable
NEXTSTEP m68k  3.2, 3.3, 4.0, 4.1 vulnerable, symptom = panic
NEXTSTEP i386  3.2, 3.3, 4.0, 4.1 vulnerable, symptom = panic. The latest word
                                  is that the vulnerability depends on the
				  network card used. Some drivers are OK, some
				  aren't. (Sorry, no info on which ones yet)

Thanks to Bill Fenner and Dan Grillo for this info

Having said this, some people are still having trouble reproducing this. Once person has tried 3.3pl1 on an i386 and m68k and had no problems.
