Tru64 Denial of Service Vulnerability
It has been reported that Tru64 systems may be prone to a denial of service condition when handling malformed TCP packets. Specifically, when processing a malformed TCP packet with both the SYN and FIN flags set, vulnerable Tru64 systems may block indefinitely, thus causing a denial of service. As a result other legitimate users may no longer be capable of accessing remote services.
Mitigation:
System administrators should ensure that all systems are running the latest version of Tru64, Digital Unix, or VxWorks.
