I am using Astaro 4.021 with 2 NIC
Masquerading Configured.
POP3 Proxy enabled as I have the AV scanning license.
Firewall Rule LAN -> ANY = Allow
WAN= DHCP connected to cable modem.
All other proxy Disabled.
No other firewall rule.
I did a No Risk Audit against my IP address and report from Security Space shows
11024 Denial of Service: p-smash DoS (ICMP 9 flood)
Description
general/tcp
It was possible to crash the remote
machine by flooding it with ICMP type 9 packets.
A cracker may use this attack to make this
host crash continuously, preventing you
from working properly.
Solution : upgrade your Windows 9x operating system or change it.

q216141
Risk factor : High
1) Security Space False Alarm ? Because it says for windows machine.
2) Indeed this current version is vulnerable to similiar attack even if it is linux based?
Other than this one High Risk factor, all others is cleared ! [:)]
Please advice how I can minimize this risk? [:S]
