CVE-1999-1201

Summary

CVE-1999-1201 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting Windows 95 and Windows 98 systems. When multiple TCP/IP stacks are configured with the same MAC address, the systems become susceptible to traffic amplification attacks. An attacker can send a specific ICMP echo packet, also known as a "ping" packet, which causes all stacks to send a ping response. This results in a denial-of-service condition as the system becomes flooded with traffic.
