The vulnerability resides in the design and implementation of RFC 5961, a relatively new Internet standard that's intended to prevent certain classes of hacking attacks. The problematic RFC 5961 has not yet been fully implemented in Windows or Mac OS X, so those operating systems aren't believed to be vulnerable. By contrast, the Linux operating system kernel, starting with version 3.6 introduced in 2012, has added a largely complete set of functions implementing the standard. De essentie ontbreekt in deze beschrijving, namelijk off path - d.w.z. het gaat hier niet om een MitM aanval (Man in the Middle, dus met directe toegang tot de verbinding tussen client en ...
