Statement
Red Hat does not consider this issue to be a security vulnerability. The pottential attacker has to send acknowledgement packets periodically to make server generate traffic. Exactly the same effect could be achieved by simply downloading the file. The statement that setting the TCP window size to arbitrarily high value would permit the attacker to disconnect and stop sending ACKs is false, because Red Hat Enterprise Linux limits the size of the TCP send buffer to 4MB by default.
