Heres a link to Info about the exploit:
http://www.frsirt.com/english/advisories/2005/2295

..and some "proof-of-concept" GIFs
http://scary.beasts.org/misc/bad1.gif
http://scary.beasts.org/misc/bad2.gif
http://scary.beasts.org/misc/bad3.gif

Heres what is known:

GIFs "bad1" and "bad2" cause fw versions 2.01 and 2.5 to "freeze" and shut themselves down.

GIF "bad3" doesnt cause 2.01 to crash but once you select it you get error code 00000001(I dont know about 2.5)

These dont work on 2.6. That fw has been patched.

This exploit has led to code execution on computers.
