Last modified

CVE-2008-4609 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The TCP implementation in (1) Linux, (2) platforms based on BSD Unix, (3) Microsoft Windows, (4) Cisco products, and probably other operating systems allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection queue exhaustion) via multiple vectors that manipulate information in the TCP state table, as demonstrated by sockstress.. EPSS estimates a 32.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
