SOL8072 - Obtaining uptime information from TCP timestamps

Timestamps are a TCP option used by a TCP/IP networking stack to implement two algorithms: the Round-Trip Time Measurement RTTM algorithm and the Protection Against Wrapped Sequence Numbers PAWS algorithm. Both algorithms are defined in RFC 1323, and are widely implemented by most modern operatin...

TCP does not adequately validate segments before updating timestamp value

Overview Certain TCP implementations may allow a remote attacker to arbitrarily modify host timestamp values, leading to a denial-of-service condition. Description The Transmission Control Protocol TCP is defined in RFC 793 as a means to provide reliable host-to-host transmission between hosts in...
