CVE-1999-1075
AIX 4.1.5 - Denial of Service via Unmanaged Port N-1 Connections
Title source: llmDescription
inetd in AIX 4.1.5 dynamically assigns a port N when starting ttdbserver (ToolTalk server), but also inadvertently listens on port N-1 without passing control to ttdbserver, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a large number of connections to port N-1, which are not properly closed by inetd.
