CVE-2004-0230 - Blind reset denial of service attack on TCP connections. (Bug #270710)
Summary
DETAILS: CVE-2004-0230: TCP, when using a large Window Size, makes it easier for remote attackers to guess sequence numbers and cause a denial of service (connection loss) to persistent TCP connections by repeatedly injecting a TCP RST packet, especially in protocols that use long-lived connections, such as BGP. CVE-2016-5696: net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in the Linux kernel before 4.7 does not properly determine the rate of challenge ACK segments, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to hijack TCP sessions via a blind in-window attack. FIX: Applied Linux kernel patches to implement RFC 5961 to fix CVE-2004-0230 and correct the vulnerability CVE-2016-5696 present in the initial version of the patch. RECOMMENDATION: Upgrade to a software version with the fix.
