Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Solaris, 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 TCP packets with incorrect sequence numbers, which can be exploited to cause a so-called "ACK Storm" where two systems try to re-syncronize the TCP session indefinitely.
