A bug in the
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=tcp&sektion=4">tcp(4)</a>
stack allows an invalid argument to be used in calculating the TCP
retransmit timeout. By sending packets with specific values in the TCP
timestamp option, an attacker can cause a system panic.

's mod_include module fails to properly validate the length of
user supplied tag strings prior to copying them to a local buffer,
causing a buffer overflow.

This would require enabling the XBitHack directive or server-side
includes and making use of a malicious document.
