NOTE: CVE-2004-0790, CVE-2004-0791, and CVE-2004-1060 have been SPLIT based on different attacks; CVE-2005-0065, CVE-2005-0066, CVE-2005-0067, and CVE-2005-0068 are related identifiers that are SPLIT based on the underlying vulnerability. While CVE normally SPLITs based on vulnerability, the attack-based identifiers exist due to the variety and number of affected implementations and solutions that address the attacks instead of the underlying vulnerabilities." } ] }, "problemtype" : { "problemtype_data" : [ { "description" : [ { "lang" : "eng", "value" : "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references" : { "reference_data" : [ { "name" : "http://www.gont.com.ar/drafts/icmp-attacks-against-tcp.html", "refsource" : "MISC", "url" : "http://www.gont.com.ar/drafts/icmp-attacks-against-tcp.html" }, { "name" : "13124", "refsource" : "BID", "url" : "http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13124" } ] } }
