The use and effect of “spoofed” RST (Reset) and SYN packets on the TCP/IP Internet communications protocol was detailed today in NISCC Vulnerability Advisory # 236929 and in a US Department of Homeland Security alert. If exploited, these vulnerabilities could potentially allow a Denial of Service (DoS) attack on any TCP/IP session, forcing a premature termination. Any network service or application that relies on TCP/IP could be impacted. (PRWeb Apr 23, 2004)
