DESCRIPTION:
Three vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft Windows, which
can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

1) A vulnerability exists in the IPv6 Windows implementation of ICMP
which, if successfully exploited, results in the system dropping an
existing connection.

2) A vulnerability exists in the IPv6 Windows implementation of TCP
which, if successfully exploited, results in the system dropping an
existing TCP connection.

3) A vulnerability exists in the IPv6 implementation of TCP/IP which,
if successfully exploited, could cause the system to stop responding.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities requires IPv6 to be
configured (not enabled by default).

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
