CWE-ID: CWE-1284 - Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of specified quantity in input error in the TCP proxy plugin. A remote non-authenticated attacker can cause a complete Denial of Service (DoS).
When TCP proxy is engaged in a flow session, to support ALGs, Advanced Anti-Malware, ICAP or UTM, a TCP packet with specifically malformed TCP header will cause flow processing daemon (flowd) to crash and restart.
This causes a complete service outage until the system has automatically recovered.
