Hi Folks,

    The recent RaQ4-en-Security-2.0.1-SHP.pkg allows a remote attacker to
cause system crashes.  To avoid this I suggest you disable the Scan
Detection in Parameters by selecting "do nothing".  Else you might not be
happy...

I have written a small script that can reproduce the problem consistently.

I don't seem to be able to find any way to contact Sun cobalt about this.

what to do?  maybe a whitepaper advert??

Sun Cobalt Please Call or contact me

Email Shaun White (shaun.white@xxxxxxx) - he's in charge of security stuff, and runs cobalt-security list as well...
