CVE-1999-1291

Summary

CVE-1999-1291 is a vulnerability affecting the TCP/IP implementation in Microsoft Windows 95 and NT 4.0, among others. Attackers can exploit this weakness by forcing a reset (RST) on a target's connection using a PSH ACK packet or similar methods. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to obtain the target's last sequence number from the response, enabling them to spoof a reset and potentially disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the affected system.
