CVE-2001-1244
Last modified
CVE-2001-1244 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple TCP implementations could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (bandwidth and CPU exhaustion) by setting the maximum segment size (MSS) to a very small number and requesting large amounts of data, which generates more packets with less TCP-level data that amplify network traffic and consume more server CPU to process.. EPSS estimates a 35.29% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
