kernel: TCP segments with random offsets allow a remote denial of service (SegmentSmack)

A flaw named SegmentSmack was found in the way the Linux kernel handled specially crafted TCP packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and calculation expensive calls to tcpcollapseofoqueue and tcppruneofoqueue functions by sending specially modified packets within ongoing T...
