Hello,

I think I may have found a bug in the functionality of the kernel and iptables. I am concerned that it may be too sensitive to publicly disclose the exact details.

Can you please provide me with some guidance on how to provide additional details in a secure manner?

Thanks,

In reply to Eric Dumazet

I apologize for the delay in getting you all the details of my findings. I plan to complete a writeup on this Sunday and email it to you by Sunday eve at the latest.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond to my initial email.
