Solution:
It has been reported that Linux Kernel version 2.0.40 soon will be released.
Secunia strongly recommends the use of Linux kernel 2.4 branch instead, as it provides better IP filtering support. Furthermore, most Linux distributions only support releases with 2.2 or 2.4 branch kernels.
Steve Fallin, director of WatchGuard Rapid Response Team, has said that bug fixes will be available early third quarter 2003.
Implement a filter that disallow ICMP error messages.
