[Cialug] TCP: Treason uncloaked

[David Champion]

FYI:

I ran across a Linux server getting hit by an apparent DoS attack, which
caused the server to be very slow. Looking at dmesg, there was a lot of
"TCP: Treason uncloaked..." messages.

A yum update got the kernel update on these (CentOS 5.7), which fixed the
problem.

If you do some googleing, you can also find info on blocking this attack
with iptables.
