<p>A timing-based attack on <b

powerful attacker access to plaintext under certain
circumstances. This problem has been corrected in FreeBSD
4.8-PRERELEASE with an upgrade to <b

security fix branches, this problem has been corrected with
the import of <b class="APPLICATION">OpenSSL</b> 0.9.6i.

<p>It may be possible to recover the shared secret key used
by the implementation of the ``syncookies'' feature. This
reduces its effectiveness in dealing with TCP SYN flood
denial-of-service attacks. Workaround information and fixes
