4.0 Conclusion<br />

A flaw in the handling of <strong>Ethernet</strong> frame padding has been presented and examined in<br />

detail. This link layer implementation flaw is known to affect multiple platforms and is<br />

believed to affect many more. The nature of this vulnerability makes it beyond the means<br />

of the authors to test and verify this bug on more than a limited number of systems, and<br />

the release of this paper is intended to prompt vendors to test and patch their products.<br />

The number of affected systems is staggering, and the number of vulnerable systems<br />

used as critical network infrastructure terrifying. The security of proprietary network<br />

devices is particularly questionable. Just how secure is your VLAN?<br />
