There is a local DoS triggered by use of the TCP Fast Open option, specific to Linux stable branches, as a result of an incompletely backported bug fix: https://bugs.debian.org/782515 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/359588 The 3.16.7-ckt stable branch is definitely affected, and I believe but haven't tested that the 3.10, 3.12, 3.13.11-ckt and 3.14 branches are also affected. Please assign a CVE ID for this. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Editing code like this is akin to sticking plasters on the bleeding stump of a severed limb. - me, 29 June 1999
