II.  Problem Description

FreeBSD may add a reassemble queue entry on the stack into the segment
list when the reassembly queue reaches its limit.  The memory from the
stack is undefined after the function returns.  Subsequent iterations of
the reassembly function will attempt to access this entry.

Hi,

Does this require an established TCP session to be present? - i.e. If you have a host which provides no external TCP sessions (i.e. replies 'Connection Refused' / drops the initial SYN) would that still be potentially exploitable?

What about boxes used as routers - that just forward the traffic (and again, offer no TCP services directly themselves)?
