CVE-1999-0077

Summary

CVE-1999-0077 is a vulnerability affecting TCP sequences numbers, where predictable patterns can be exploited by attackers to carry out IP spoofing. This issue arises due to the lack of randomness in the sequence number generation, enabling an adversary to impersonate another host by manipulating the sequence numbers. This vulnerability can lead to serious security implications, including unauthorized access, data theft, or denial-of-service attacks. To mitigate this risk, it is essential to implement proper sequence number randomization techniques to prevent predictable patterns from being exploited.
