CVE-1999-0015

Summary

CVE-1999-0015 is a cybersecurity vulnerability that affects IP networks. It allows an attacker to send specially crafted Teardrop packets which can cause a denial-of-service condition. The packets are designed to fragment the IP datagrams in an invalid way, leading to a buffer overflow and crash of the affected system. This can result in the targeted system becoming unresponsive and unable to process legitimate network traffic. The vulnerability was first identified in 1999 and affects various operating systems that do not properly handle IP fragmentation.
