| Description: |
Synopsis :
It is possible to determine the exact time set on the remote host.
Description :
The remote host answers to an ICMP timestamp request. This allows an
attacker to know the date which is set on your machine.
This may help him to defeat all your time based authentication
protocols.
Solution :
Filter out the ICMP timestamp requests (13), and the outgoing ICMP
timestamp replies (14).
Risk factor :
None
