Earlier this week, security researchers revealed that they have discovered a way to take down Internet-connected servers with denial-of-service attacks.

The IDG News Service quotes a researcher as saying, "This appears not to be a single bug, but in fact at least five, and maybe as many as 30 different potential problems."

Vendors are now working to fix these problems with all due haste.
