Summary
The remote host implements TCP timestamps and therefore allows to compute the uptime.
Impact
A side eect of this feature is that the uptime of the remote host can sometimes be computed.
Aected Software/OS
TCP implementations that implement RFC1323/RFC7323.
Vulnerability Insight
The remote host implements TCP timestamps, as dened by RFC1323/RFC7323.
