NetBSD, TCP and validating segments before updating timestamps
I've looked a bit whether NetBSD is vulnerable to the
security issue
where a mallicious packet can update an internal timer value to a
very high value, and thus obsoleting any later arriving (legal)
packets. Looking at the middle of a
series
of
commits
in January 2005, it seems NetBSD is not vulnerable.
(On the funny side, others call this vulnerability
an "edge condition"
