Multiple Vendor connect() Denial of Service Vulnerability
Certain versions of AIX and HP/UX contained a bug in the way the OS handled the connect system call. The connect call is used to initiate a connection on a socket. Because of the flaw in the handling code under AIX certain versions will reboot when given two connects, one to a fixed port (a number of different ports were found to trigger this behaviour) and then another random port connection immediately thereafter. |
