CVE-1999-0074

Summary

CVE-1999-0074 is a vulnerability affecting systems that allocate listening TCP ports in a sequential manner. malicious actors can exploit this weakness by spoofing a port number and potentially gaining unauthorized access to a system or intercepting data intended for another process. This can lead to serious security implications, including unauthorized access, data theft, or denial of service attacks. To mitigate this risk, it is recommended that organizations implement secure port allocation methods, such as random or dynamic port allocation, to prevent attackers from predicting or manipulating open ports.
