Title: Two SCO Security Advisories: 1. SCOSA-2005.64 - UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.4 : TCP Denial of Service Vulnerability 2. SCOSA-2005.65 - OpenServer 6.0.0 : TCP Denial of Service Vulnerability
Abstract:
Vendors affected: SCO
Operating systems affected: SCO
Applications affected: SCO

Title
=====

Two SCO Security Advisories:

1. SCOSA-2005.64 - UnixWare 7.1.3 UnixWare 7.1.4 : TCP Denial of Service Vulnerability

2. SCOSA-2005.65 - OpenServer 6.0.0 : TCP Denial of Service Vulnerability

Detail
======

1. TCP does not adequately validate segments before updating
timestamp value allowing a remote attacker to arbitrarily modify
host timestamp values that will in turn cause TCP connections to
abort/drop segments, leading to a denial-of-service condition.

2. TCP does not adequately validate segments before updating
timestamp value allowing a remote attacker to arbitrarily modify
host timestamp values that will in turn cause TCP connections to
abort/drop segments, leading to a denial-of-service condition.
