Language:

New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Synopsis

The remote host has a predictable TCP sequence number generator.

Description

According to the version of one or more Juniper NSM servers running on the remote host, it is potentially vulnerable to denial of service and network session hijacking attacks due to a weak IP sequence number generator.

Solution

Upgrade to NSM version 2011.4s3 / 2012.1 or higher.
