- Christey> A Bugtraq posting indicates that the bug has to do with | "short packets with certain options set," so the description | should be modified accordingly. | | But is this the same as CVE-1999-0052? That one is related | to nestea (CVE-1999-0257) and probably the one described in | BUGTRAQ:19981023 nestea v2 against freebsd 3.0-Release | The patch for nestea is in ip_input.c around line 750. | The patches for CVE-1999-0001 are in lines 388&446. So, | CVE-1999-0001 is different from CVE-1999-0257 and CVE-1999-0052. | The FreeBSD patch for CVE-1999-0052 is in line 750. | So, CVE-1999-0257 and CVE-1999-0052 may be the same, though | CVE-1999-0052 should be RECAST since this bug affects Linux | and other OSes besides FreeBSD. | Frech> XF:teardrop(338) | This assignment was based solely on references to the CERT advisory. | Christey> The description for BID:190, which links to CVE-1999-0052 (a | FreeBSD advisory), notes that the patches provided by FreeBSD in | CERT:CA-1998-13 suggest a connection between CVE-1999-0001 and | CVE-1999-0052. CERT:CA-1998-13 is too vague to be sure without | further analysis.
