Upstream information

CVE-2004-0230 at MITRE

Description

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.

Note from the SUSE Security Team

This problem was fixed in the 3.0.58 stable kernel (but only for SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 and SP4). It is also fixed in Linux Kernel 3.5 and newer, so SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 and newer versions were fixed before shipment.
