Hello, my machine at work was scanned with the ISS Scanner, Vers. 6.2.1 and it complained about TCP Sequence Prediction: 'The TCP sequence was found to be predictable.' I was advised to install FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE after 2000-09-28 or later :-) as listed in FreBSD-SA-00:52. I looked at the published Patch in FreBSD-SA-00:52 but couldn't find the Sourcecode Sequence to be patched any more (I wasn't wondering). But so, what shall I do, who's to blame? Is the ISS lying? Is there any advice from the FreeBSD Security Officer or the developers how to proceed further?
