Last modified

CVE-2000-1039 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Various TCP/IP stacks and network applications allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service by flooding a target host with TCP connection attempts and completing the TCP/IP handshake without maintaining the connection state on the attacker host, aka the "NAPTHA" class of vulnerabilities. NOTE: this candidate may change significantly as the security community discusses the technical nature of NAPTHA and learns more about the affected applications. EPSS estimates a 45.83% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
