With regard to:

CERT(sm) Advisory CA-96.26 "Denial of Service via ping"


It was nice to see a response from the FreeBSD group:

	Free BSD, Inc.
	==============
	  We have fixed the problem in 2.1.6 and -current.

But I would like to know if some fix can be applied to v2.1.5R and
v2.1.0R (the versions I am currently running). Can the 2.1.6 fixes be
applied to the 2.1.5 (and 2.1.0) source tree? If so what and where are
they?
