"Flash"??
That Whispering Wolf... (elfchief@lupine.org)

This isn't so much a security question as a question about a possible denial-
of-service attack.
A user on my system talked to me about a program that's going around called
'flash', that supposedly uses in.talkd to flood a user's session into
unusability. He has a binary for this program, but no source, so I can't
see what the program actually does.
He also mentions a patch for in.talkd to prevent this program from working.
He doesn't know of a source for the patch, etc, though.
Has anyone seen this one? Anybody know the details?
