2.3.18/19 & "land" DoS
Fooling around w/ my box, I found that the LAND DoS attack caused my box
to lock up when using 2.3.18 & 2.3.19 kernels. No problems w/ 2.2.12.

Yes, if you do this from the _same_ host, where you are root.
In this case you have lots of much easier ways to "DoS" it 8).
It did not work in 2.2, because it violated TCP protocol.
