Affected Versions:
Effort:
Difficulty:
Label:
Description
Data shouldn't be used in reassembly:
RFC 1122:
4.2.2.12 RST Segment: RFC-793 Section 3.4
A TCP SHOULD allow a received RST segment to include data.
DISCUSSION
It has been suggested that a RST segment could contain
ASCII text that encoded and explained the cause of the
RST. No standard has yet been established for such
data.
