Please see the vendor section below for further information. Alternatively contact your vendor for product specific information. If exploited, the vulnerability could allow an attacker to create a Denial of Service condition against existing TCP connections, resulting in premature session termination. The resulting session termination will affect the application layer, the nature and severity of the effects being dependent on the application layer protocol. The primary dependency is on the duration of the TCP connection, with a further dependency on knowledge of the network (IP) addresses of the end points of the TCP connection." ----Quote---- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, [email protected] Providing Internet since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada www.sentex.net/mike _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
