TCP Denial of Service Attack

Jack C. Louis and Robert E. Lee of Outpost24 have discovered a new vulnerability in the TCP stack. They claim that it is a Denial of Service attack that can bring down any TCP stack, running on any operating system in seconds. The details about it are sketchy, but it appears to be confirmed by security vendors.

There has been some speculation that it is based on a full connection flooding and slowly consumes all the resources on the server until it crashes. Hopefully, full details will follow shortly so we can all understand exactly what the vulnerability is.
