There's been some buzz about a new bug within the TCP/IP-protocol.
According to the people who discovered it, it affects some if not
all
OSes. They explain it a little bit in an interview (URL below)
without
telling any details.

Fyodor released some speculation earlier today:

And Robert E. Lee posted on his blog that Fyodor's explanation doesn't 
actually describe the bug they found.

Kind regards,

Jorrit
