Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-04:04.tcp.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-04:04.tcp.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-04:04.tcp.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) of the TCP/IP protocol suite
provides a connection-oriented, reliable, sequence-preserving data
stream service. When network packets making up a TCP stream (``TCP
segments'') are received out-of-sequence, they are maintained in a
reassembly queue by the destination system until they can be re-ordered
and re-assembled.

FreeBSD does not limit the number of TCP segments that may be held in a
reassembly queue.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.
