Description
Crafted packets not conforming to Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards can be used by malicious users to exploit a host's protocol stack to create a Denial of Service (DoS) or force a device reset, to bypass security gateway filtering, or to compromise a vulnerable device. It is imperative these packets are recognized and discarded at the network perimeter. This requirement is applicable to network devices such as firewalls and IDS/IPS and is not applicable to the routing function.
