[cobalt-security] promisc and Cobalt kernel

[Gossi The Dog <gossi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've got a bizzare problem on owned.lab6.com.  We run snort as our IDS.
Since installing the RPM for the kernel to the fix the latest security
problems, if I run something else which tries to put the NIC into promisc
mode (for example, another sniffer), all networking drops out on the box
completely.  It sits logging stuff in syslog and is alive, but I can't
print/traceroute or get any kind of response from it.  I'm thinking its a
kernel problem - can anybody else test?

Regards,
Gossi.
