Microsoft has released this security patch (kb974288) to protect against an unreleased Denial of Service vulnerability in the TCP stack.

This update could catch some Admins off guard if they're not aware of it.

This update also changes and adds some options in NETSH.

Cisco has also released a Bulletin and IOS updates to prevent this vulnerability.
