CVE-2000-0916 (CCN-139)

Assigned:1995-01-01
Published:1995-01-01
Updated:2008-09-05
Summary:FreeBSD 4.1.1 and earlier, and possibly other BSD-based OSes, uses an insufficient random number generator to generate initial TCP sequence numbers (ISN), which allows remote attackers to spoof TCP connections.
