See story below from isc.sans.org (now on cover page, article on http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?storyid=1042) Rubens ----------------------------------------------- TippingPoint IPS DoS (High CPU load) (NEW) Published: 2006-01-14, Last Updated: 2006-01-14 05:57:28 UTC by Swa Frantzen (Version: 3(click to highlight changes)) We are getting multiple reports of a DoS attack (causing high CPU load that prevents normal use) against TippingPoint IPS devices. We got a call from TippingPoint, stating that in their opinion this is not a "DoS", but a "high load" issue. For more details we'd like to urge customers to contact TippingPoint directly. They are working on a patch and advisory which should be available shortly. Edit: We've received a report that TippingPoint has now released a patch for this issue. The patch version is TOS 2.1.4.6324. -- Swa Frantzen On 1/13/06, Byrne, David <David.Byrne@echostar.com> wrote:

Anyone know about a new worm going around? Our IPS vendor says that they have a number of customers affected by traffic volume, but I don't know any details.

Thanks,
