If the firewall handles such a packet the kernel panics. Steps to reproduce: If you are behind a OpenBSD firewall this nmap scan should trigger the problem and crash your firewall device: nmap -sO $some_host_so_that_the_firewall_handles_the_packets For more informations please do read the patch issued by OpenBSD. Patches and Workaround: Patches are provided for OpenBSD 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 (upcoming, release 1st of may) and OpenBSD-current (via CVS only) and are avaiable at the errata website. The developers provide hints for a workaround at their errata website too. Kind regards, Rembrandt
