CVE-1999-0345

Summary

CVE-1999-0511 refers to a vulnerability where IP forwarding is enabled on a non-router or non-firewall machine. This misconfiguration exposes the host to potential attacks, as IP forwarding allows data packets to be forwarded to other devices on the network. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access or launch denial-of-service attacks against other systems connected to the network. Network administrators should disable IP forwarding on machines that do not require this functionality to mitigate this risk. Failure to secure this vulnerability could result in serious network compromises.
