Linux Kernel IP ID Information Disclosure Weakness

The Linux kernel is prone to a remote information-disclosure weakness. This issue is due to an implementation flaw of a zero 'ip_id' information-disclosure countermeasure.

This issue allows remote attackers to use affected computers in stealth network port and trust scans.

The Linux kernel 2.6 series, as well as some kernels in the 2.4 series, are affected by this weakness.
