TCP (RFC 793 [1]) is widely deployed and one of the most often used reliable
end to end protocols for data communication. Yet when it was defined over
many of the threats that are now common. Recently several rather serious
threats have been detailed that can pose new methods for both denial of
service and possibly data injection by blind attackers. This document
details those threats and also proposes some small changes to the way TCP
handles inbound segments that either eliminate the threats or at least
minimize them to a more acceptable level.
