I have just noticed that this topic seems to be going on simultaneously on
both the IPv6 and v6OPS mailing lists.
The two threads are not coordinated, but both seem very concerned with IPv6
Type 0 Routing Header issues.
This is seperate to the rash of Linux related warnings that have come out in
the new IPv6 news - weekly summary :
Security:
Linux Kernel IPv6 Protocol Type 0 Route Header Remote Denial of Service
Vulnerability
http://www.ipv6tf.org/news/counter.php?id=2837
FreeBSD Security Advisory - IPv6 Routing Header 0 is dangerous
http://www.ipv6tf.org/news/counter.php?id=2834
OpenBSD IPv6 Type 0 Route Headers Denial of Service
http://www.ipv6tf.org/news/counter.php?id=2819
It concerns me that the two teams are working seperatly to solve the same
issue.
