On the late evening of friday 11th of June, we at Pepper 
Head discovered a DoS attack that could crash any OS/2 
machine running TCP/IP 4.1 or higher, that is, MPTS 5.x or 
6.x. This includes also OS/2 Warp Server for e-business.
The exploit was first discovered on Linux 2.2.x kernels on 
the 1st of June, and when we tried it on one of our 
servers, it died instantly with a trap 000e.

We found this error to be serious enough to want to try 
alerting IBM as soon as possible. Spending the next 24 
hours on the phone to various IBM offices around the globe, 
we were finally able to get in touch with someone that 
really understood the severity of the problem. So they
started working on the problem on saturday, and today we 
got the fix - directly from the developers.

This fix has not yet been posted to IBM's official sites, 
but until it is, it can be found on this address:
