Description:
Three vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

1) A vulnerability exists in the IPv6 Windows implementation of ICMP which, if successfully exploited, results in the system dropping an existing connection.

2) A vulnerability exists in the IPv6 Windows implementation of TCP which, if successfully exploited, results in the system dropping an existing TCP connection.

3) A vulnerability exists in the IPv6 implementation of TCP/IP which, if successfully exploited, could cause the system to stop responding.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities requires IPv6 to be configured (not enabled by default).
