CVE-1999-0529

Summary

CVE-1999-0529 is a vulnerability affecting routers and firewalls that allow packets with IANA reserved or private IP addresses, such as 10.x.x.x, 127.x.x.x, and 217.x.x.x, to be forwarded. This issue can lead to unauthorized access or denial-of-service attacks. Malicious actors could exploit this vulnerability by sending packets with these IP addresses, deceiving the router or firewall into forwarding them, potentially bypassing security measures and gaining unauthorized access to networks. These private and reserved IP addresses should not normally be forwarded by routers or firewalls, making this a significant security concern.
