📰 Vulnerabilities in widely used TCP/IP stacks open IoT, OT devices to attack

Forescout researchers have discovered nine vulnerabilities affecting nine different TCP/IP stacks widely used in IoT and OT devices. The vulnerabilities are due to weak Initial Sequence Number (ISN) generation, and could be exploited to mount limited DoS attacks against the vulnerable devices, to inject malicious data on a device, or to bypass authentication. The vulnerable TCP/IP stacks “TCP is a connection-oriented networking protocol that allows two endpoints to exchange data. TCP is one of the … More →
