Remote host replies to SYN|FIN
The remote host does not discard TCP SYN packets which
have the FIN flag set.
Depending on the kind of firewall you are using, an
attacker may use this flaw to bypass its rules.

The archive of neophasis.com tel that :

For example on systems using iptables to filter packets bogus packets can be easily distinguished by following rules:


iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d HOST/MASK --tcp-flags SYN,FIN SYN,FIN -j LOG -m limit --limit 10/m --log-level "LOGLEVEL" --log-prefix="bogus packet"
$IP -A INPUT -p tcp -d HOST/MASK --tcp-flags SYN,FIN SYN,FIN -j DROP


But how proceed for add this rule??
