CVE-2008-4609

Publication date 20 October 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024


Ubuntu priority

Negligible

Why this priority?

The TCP implementation in (1) Linux, (2) platforms based on BSD Unix, (3) Microsoft Windows, (4) Cisco products, and probably other operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection queue exhaustion) via multiple vectors that manipulate information in the TCP state table, as demonstrated by sockstress.
