Linux: TCP: Treason uncloaked!

[Sirber]

In dmsg, I got:

TCP: Treason uncloaked! Peer 200.142.161.YYY:62111/4324 shrinks window 313283532:313284944. Repaired.

What is that? :confused:

Found some infos:

So it appears that someone is running some sort of "tar-pit" system that is designed to keep sockets in a bad state and run you out of kernel memory.

...

Someone who's doing the tar-pit attack would probably like your box to crash,
but I'd hope that Linux can withstand such things, and there is special-case
code in there to deal with it.
