Linux TCP Port DoS Vulnerability

It is possible to leak kernel memory and render TCP ports above 1024 unusable, locked forever in the CLOSE_WAIT state in linux kernels prior to the late 2.1.x and 2.2.0pre releases. In addition to being intentionally exploited, unix applications compiled on linux that are multithreaded may also cause these problems.
