DESCRIPTION:
Three vulnerabilities have been reported in Microsoft
Windows, 
which
can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial
of
Service).

1) A vulnerability exists in the IPv6 Windows implementation
of 
ICMP
which, if successfully exploited, results in the system 
dropping an
existing connection.

2) A vulnerability exists in the IPv6 Windows implementation
of 
TCP
which, if successfully exploited, results in the system 
dropping an
existing TCP connection.

3) A vulnerability exists in the IPv6 implementation of
TCP/IP 
which,
if successfully exploited, could cause the system to stop 
responding.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities requires IPv6
to 
be
configured (not enabled by default).

SOLUTION:
Apply patches.
