I've had FreeBSD for a long while. I had gotten to the point where I had pretty good confidence in the basic TCP/IP stack. BSD and its progenitor was the birth of the protocol. The security advisory indicates that *all* versions of FreeBSD were affected. How *all* is "all?" Back to the beginning of time? Or is it not that bad? I didn't see a specific version endpoint. So, are they saying that the stack's always been that way? If so, then the *many* other operating systems that have "borrowed" parts of the BSD TCP/IP stack could be vulnerable. Even Windows does, or did, use pieces and parts of the BSD TCP/IP stack. Can anyone shed more light on this?
