- Frech> XF:icmp-timestamp | XF:icmp-netmask | Meunier> If this is not merged with 1999-0523 as I commented for that | CVE, then the description should be changed to "ICMP messages of types | 13 and 14 (timestamp request and reply) and 17 and 18 (netmask request | and reply) are acted upon without any access control". It"s a more | precise and correct language. I believe that this is a valid CVE | entry (it"s a common source of vulnerabilities or exposures) even | though I see that the inferred action was "reject". Knowing the time | of a host also allows attacks against random number generators that | are seeded with the current time. I want to push to have it accepted. | Baker> I agree with the description changes suggested by Pascal
