Description:
A weakness has been reported in Honeyd, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose certain system information.
The weakness is caused due to an error in the IP packet reassembly code that causes Honeyd to reply to malformed IP fragments that other systems would silently drop. This can be exploited to identify systems running Honeyd.
The weakness has been reported in versions prior to 1.5.
Solution:
Update to version 1.5.
