Subject: Re: cisco 76x buffer overflow

IOS has proably a pound more of them.  While not exploitable from
outside I can crash my CISCO 1005 running IOS 10.3(8) by setting the
MTU to 15kb.  A couple of seconds later the box will freeze.  Just to
show how tested the thing is ...

IOS is probably not as badly affected as other operating systems because
few people outside of CISCO have the required knowledge about the OS
internals, so writing a useable exploit is hard.
