The idea that the attacker knew about the bug is, I think, a remote but intriguing idea.
Wonder if Cloudflare need to do some tests along the lines of:
A) List up all the types of rules we usually use to mitigate these situations.
B) Run those rules on a test router with wildly unusual input values, as was the case in this situation.
C) Send test traffic using that wildly unexpected input to see what happens.
Basically a bit of manual fuzzing
Time-consuming and maybe not worthwhile, but it could save against another full system death.
