What is CVE-1999-0529?

This vulnerability affects routers and firewalls, allowing them to forward packets that originate from IANA reserved or private addresses. This situation can lead to unauthorized access, as the devices fail to adequately filter traffic from these potentially harmful sources. Security measures must be implemented to ensure that devices do not misinterpret packets from addresses such as 10.x.x.x, 127.x.x.x, and others as legitimate.
