SOL3126 - Large TCP window sizes may make it easier to predict sequence numbers vulnerability CVE-2004-0230

This vulnerability is found in the principle design of TCP/IP itself and cannot be completely corrected without changing to an alternate protocol. The central issue in this vulnerability is that for long-lived connections, as measured in hours or days, an outside attacker could send a flurry of RST packets and cut the connection and adversely affect clients, servers, or peers.
