Netflix discovers multiple 'critical' security flaws in the Linux and FreeBSD kernels' TCP stack that could lead to server outages.
What started as an attempt to secure TCP/IP in Linux ended up enabling an attack vector that can be used to break, or even hijack, internet connections between Linux and Android systems.
Maintainers behind the Linux kernel have rolled out patches in the past weeks for two bugs that are just ideal for causing havoc via DDoS attacks. Both bugs affect the Linux kernel's TCP stack and ...
Researchers found a subtle flaw (in the form of ‘side channels’) in Linux that enables attackers to infer the TCP sequence numbers associated with a particular connection with no more ...
The UCR researchers found a vulnerability, or a side channel as they dubbed it, in the TCP stack used by Linux which allows attackers to guess the sequence numbers if they know the IP address of ...
Jack Wallen shows you how to use Google's much improved TCP Congestion Control Algorithm on Linux for significant networking speed gains.
Many modern IoT devices run Linux, so they use the Linux TCP/IP stack which has been well scrutinized by security researchers and Linux kernel developers over three decades.
A serious vulnerability in the TCP implementation in Linux systems can be used identify hosts communicating over the protocol and attack that traffic.
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside, say they have found a weakness in the transmission control protocol (TCP) used by Linux since late 2012 which allows the remote hijacking of ...
