Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in HP-UX, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of specially crafted IP fragments. This can be exploited by sending a sequence of specially crafted IP fragments to cause the system to use too much system resources, potentially resulting in DoS. This is commonly known as the "Rose Attack".
The vulnerability has been reported in version B.11.00, B.11.04, B.11.11, and B.11.23 running TCP/IP.
