Multiple TCP/IP and ICMP implementations allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (reset TCP connections) via spoofed ICMP error messages, aka the "blind connection-reset attack." NOTE: CVE-2004-0790, CVE-2004-0791, and CVE-2004-1060 have been SPLIT based on different attacks; CVE-2005-0065, CVE-2005-0066, CVE-2005-0067, and CVE-2005-0068 are related identifiers that are SPLIT based on the underlying vulnerability. While CVE normally SPLITs based on vulnerability, the attack-based identifiers exist due to the variety and number of affected implementations and solutions that address the attacks instead of the underlying vulnerabilities.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old vulnerability describes a way for remote attackers to disrupt established TCP connections by sending spoofed ICMP error messages. The business impact is availability: critical sessions could be reset. The source data does not identify one product or version list, so exposure must be determined from vendor advisories and installed legacy network stacks. Likely exposure is concentrated in legacy operating systems, appliances, or embedded systems whose TCP/IP stacks match the cited vendor advisories. The provided data names Microsoft, HP, Sun, SCO, OVAL, and third-party references, but does not enumerate affected versions in this bundle. Treat this as a legacy availability risk, not an emergency based on current evidence. Prioritize it during legacy asset review, external exposure assessment, and patch validation for systems supporting critical network sessions. Mitigation focus: Identify operating systems and network appliances matching the cited vendor advisories.; Apply vendor-supported updates when an advisory confirms the system is affected.; Use OVAL definitions where applicable to support patch and configuration checks..
