Subject: [SECURITY] CERT/CC VU#464113, SYN plus RST/FIN
Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2002 11:00:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87vg3qq4ec.fsf@deneb.enyo.de> (raw)
This patch prevents SYN+RST and SYN+FIN segments which arrive in the
LISTEN state from initiating a three-way handshake.
I'm not sure if it is correct, but it's better than nothing (so far, I
haven't seen any patch for this issue).
