Have a new server that will actually shutdown due to a rogue packet
attack, ..

Linux Hera 4.1.31-30-xen

Have another (brand new ASUS MB) that is now exhibiting similar behavior,
only with it the kernel just 'dies' - no network resonse for ssh, no
console, BUT it responds to ICMP ping.

Question - is anyone aware of vulnerabilities with the 4.1 kernels? We
also have multiple 3.1 kernels that do NOT exhibit this behavior!

	TIA!
