High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

FreeBSD version 4.1.1 and earlier, and possibly other BSD-based operating systems, use an insufficient random number generator to generate initial TCP sequence numbers (ISN), allowing remote attackers to spoof TCP connections.

Risk Assessment

Attackers can take control of TCP connections, leading to potential security breaches and unauthorized access to systems.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade the system to a newer version that improves the random number generator and implement additional security measures for TCP connections.
