TCP SYN packets which have the FIN flag set.

A Nessus scan returned the following:
The remote host does not discard TCP SYN packets which have the FIN flag set.
My systems are HPUX B2000s. Is there an HP patch for this issue?

Re: TCP SYN packets which have the FIN flag set.

Installing IPFilter/9000 will enable you to block the packets that have certain combination of flags set (FIN and SYN flags in this case). But I dont know if it is possible without installing this product.

You can download IPFilter for free from software.hp.com.
