CVE-2004-0230

Publication date 18 August 2004

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Unknown

Why this priority?

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.
