Multiple Vendor TCP Packet Fragmentation Handling Denial Of Service Vulnerability

Multiple vendor implementations of the TCP stack are reported prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability.

The issue is reported to present itself due to inefficiencies present when handling fragmented TCP packets.

The discoverer of this issue has dubbed the attack style the "New Dawn attack"; it is a variation of a previously reported attack that was named the "Rose Attack".

A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability to deny service to an affected computer.

Microsoft Windows 2000/XP, Linux kernel 2.4 tree, and undisclosed Cisco systems are reported prone to this vulnerability; other products may also be affected.
