Subject:      [Fwd: [Bay-ISP Announce] Versalar X6.0.1 (X15.0.1) UNIX and NT
To:	BUGTRAQ@NETSPACE.ORG

Just in on the Bay ISP list:

[snip]

> Version X6.0.1 of the Remote Access Concentrator software has been released by
> Nortel Bay Networks Sustaining Engineering.

> The following components comprise X6.0.1:

[snip]

> CR.79535: * The annex no longer crashes with 'Panic: mtod' in CLI. A
> check for a limit of 128 characters for username was added.
> [load image fix]

[snip]

> CR.80603: * The problem of the Annex locking up when someone assumed the
> identity of the Annex's loopback address (127.0.0.1) is
> now fixed. The code now checks to see if the destination
> address is the same as source address, or if it is the
> loopback address. This fix also includes protection
> against LAND Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. [load image fix]

I suggest anyone running Xylogics (Bay (Nortel!)) Terminal Servers contact
their local Technical Services group for information on these patches.
