IBM AIX Remote Empty TCP Flag Flood Denial Of Service Vulnerability
AIX is a variant of the Unix Operating System distributed and maintained by IBM. It has been reported that AIX does not properly handle malformed TCP packets. When an AIX system receives a TCP packet without flags set, it allocates a memory buffer to the packet and stores it in memory for an arbitrary length of time. By sending a large amount of this type of data, an attacker could crash a vulnerable AIX system. |
