• FragmentSmack a real concern for servers — this month’s patches guard against it

    Posted on September 16, 2018 at 08:50 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    If you’re running a Windows server, take note. FragmentSmack is a real DDoS vulnerability that’s slowly becoming more prevalent.

    Catalin Cimpanu at ZDNet says:

    While desktop users will rarely see a FragmentSmack attack, admins of Windows-based servers should apply the latest fixes at their earliest convenience.

    The “latest fixes” are the September cumulative updates and Monthly Rollups for all supported versions of Windows and Server.
