Subject: New possible exploit for 2.0.33 (kfree_skb error)
I have received this message on multiple machines in the past 3 days..
This could be the sign of a new exploit. I have also managed to find a few
others on IRC that have had the same exact error message. If anyone knows
what exactly causes it and how to fix it please let us know. The
"syndrop" program generates the kfree error but it does not crash the box
(at least the one that I have tested)
Here is the error:
Apr 14 23:51:36 web1 kernel: Warning: kfree_skb passed an skb still on a
