[GitHub] [incubator-nuttx] gustavonihei opened a new issue #2839: NUMBER:JACK - Improper generation of Initial Sequence Number in TCP stack

gustavonihei opened a new issue #2839:
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/issues/2839


   On February 10, 2021 Forescout Research Labs published another vulnerability report that affects multiple TCP/IP stacks.
   **uIP** TCP/IP stack is among them, with the following description:
   ```
   ISN generator is initialized with a constant value and has constant increments.
   ```
   In fact, the description seems fit to NuttX TCP/IP stack. In https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/blob/master/net/tcp/tcp_seqno.c, `g_tcpsequence` is initialized with 0, and each call to `tcp_nextsequence()` just increments the variable.
   
   Link to the report:
