And what's even better is that the service that's so vulnerable
is UDP based, making it trivial for an attacker to hide where
they're coming from.  It also listens on broadcast addresses,
so an attacker could compromise hundreds of systems with just
one packet.

I can see it now: "Conquers hundreds of computers with a single
packet!"
