CVE-1999-1291

Summary

CVE-1999-1291 is a vulnerability affecting the TCP/IP implementation in Microsoft Windows 95 and NT 4.0, among others. This issue allows remote attackers to manipulate connections by forcing a reset (RST) using techniques such as PSH ACK. By observing the resulting packet, an attacker can obtain the target's last sequence number. Subsequently, the attacker can spoof a reset to the target, potentially disrupting their connection.
