For more information: SA36597 2) An error in the TCP/IP stack when processing TCP/IP packets may result in state information not being cleaned up correctly. This can be exploited via a specially crafted TCP/IP packet to cause a certain field to be dereferenced as a pointer. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. SOLUTION: Apply patches.
