[NTLUG:Discuss] ICMP virus was: ICMP connection request to port 2048

[Paul Ingendorf]

This would not be entirely unheard of but I haven't seen one.  There used to
be a vulnerability on many dialup users were sending an echo or ping packet
with ATH0+++ would cause the remote users modem to hang up.

I am wondering whether any Virus could propogate through ICMP! This
seems nearly impossible.
Never heard of anythng like that before.

Does anybody know of a virus that would request ICMP
connection to port 2048. The last 2 days I have many
attempts to connect to this port from many different
addresses. I am running XP.

Thanks,
Tom
