[luau] Cisco IOS bug

[Mark Pettit]

And if anyone wants a copy of the script, it's publically available at
your nearest bugtraq archive, or if there is sufficient interest,
perhaps someone will post it to this list to show just how easy it is
to crash a Cisco router.

If anyone is running Cisco, you will want to seriously consider
upgrading your IOS version or adding some ACLs at your border
routers until you do. With hping and a short shell script, you
can cripple an unpatched router.

This was all announced last week by many different outlets
(Bugtraq, CERT, Slashdot, ad nauseum), but I figure some folks on
the list would find this valuable.

So I can get a sense the intereset, private comments are
encouraged, despite this message lacking some ob-open source
content.
