Solaris <= 2.5.1 Ping Vulnerability
source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/209/info
The ping program is used to assess network connectivity between network devices. A denial of service condition exists in the ping program that may cause the system to panic by sending ping requests to a multicast address through the loopback interface. The system will ping itself; however, the incoming queue pointer is not yet initialized when the packet is received. Thus, the system will panic.
