Description

FreeBSD contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to modify certain TCP options via a TCP packet with the SYN flag set for an already established session. It is possible that the flaw may allow an attacker to spoof the remote IP and port numbers of an established connection and stall the TCP communications resulting in a loss of availability.
