It's been around a while, the new part is that before everyone was assuming
4 billion possibilities would mean it takes 20 days to execute, this
current alert is because someone has found a way to do it with 4 packets.
(4 possibilities and he's got you).

OTOH, there was also a cisco alert today for another snmp exploit, this one
causes routers to reboot. Again everything cisco appears exploitable (all
cisco routers) so IMO that's bigger news than the tcp thing.
