Len Rose <len@...sys.com> said something like:

: 
: They've been discussing the existence of
: a new Cisco IOS attack on the NANOG mailing
: list (see http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/ for
: details)
: 
: According to what I've been reading it's a remotely
: exploitable denial of service situation, based on
: specially crafted packets designed to fill up the
: "process switched" input queues on an interface.
: 
: It seemingly will cause the router to crash or
: reboot.
: 
: I have no further details.
