Title:
  Kernel hangs on high network throughput

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  If A Fit-PC2i receives more than 200Mbit/s of network traffic the
  kernel will hang. Cursor stops blinking, machine doesn't respond to
  keyboard and mouse input, no longer responds to ARP requests or any
  other network traffic.

  The problem is triggered every time a 10.04.3 system with kernel
  version 2.6.32-33-generic receives more than 200Mbit/s of network
  traffic. The bug affects both live system as well as fully installed
  system.

  The bug can be reproduced by downloading a 1GB file from a server on
  the LAN. The bug is only triggered if more than 200Mbit/s is
  transfered. If any link on the path between client and server is
  100Mbit/s or less the bug cannot be reproduced.

  The 8.04.4 live system is not affected by this problem and can receive
  600Mbit/s without problems on the same hardware.

  Marking this as a security problem because it can in principle be used
  to perform a DoS attack.
