Subject: TCP-RST Vulnerability - Doubt
Date: Fri, 25 Jun 2004 15:20:50 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40DC9B00@webster.usu.edu> (raw)

Hi,

I am a graduate research student majoring in the field of
Computer Networking.As part of my research I have sorted out what FreeBSD has 
done to overcome the TCP-RST vulnerability (by modifying the stack to accept 
the RST packets only with the current + 1 sequence number and ignoring the 
rest, even if their sequence numbers fall within the receiving window).

Could you kindly share your views regarding what Linux has done to its stack 
to overcome this vulnerability as it will be of great help to my research.

Thanks,
Sai Prathap
