Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Race Condition in defrag-hash.c when handling multiple fragmented packets using the same IPID value. An attacker can bypass security policies by forcing a packet to improperly be sent before its tracker's remove bit is set, due to occupying the same hash row as the tracker of a different packet, sent immediately before the malicious one.
