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.
Notes
kees | this does not really affect the Linux TCP stack in any meaningful way.
