Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems, when configured with multiple TCP/IP stacks bound to the same MAC address, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (traffic amplification) via a certain ICMP echo (ping) packet, which causes all stacks to send a ping response, aka TCP Chorusing.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old denial-of-service issue in Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems with multiple TCP/IP stacks tied to the same MAC address. A crafted ICMP echo request could make each stack reply, creating traffic amplification. Modern exposure is likely limited to unusual legacy environments. Exposure is likely limited to networks still running Windows 95 or Windows 98 with the specific multi-stack TCP/IP configuration. Organizations without these legacy hosts should have negligible direct exposure. Low for most organizations, but higher if legacy Windows 9x systems remain connected to operational networks. The practical business action is legacy asset discovery, segmentation, and retirement planning. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire Windows 95/98 systems where possible.; Remove unsupported multi-stack TCP/IP configurations if still present.; Restrict unsolicited ICMP echo traffic to legacy hosts..
