There was a "fix" posted to the kernel mailing list
(http://kernelnotes.org/lnxlists/linux-kernel/lk_9909_04/msg00664.html
, which solves the problem. For those who do not wish to use 2.2.13preX
this can be solution.

A weakness within the TCP stack in Linux 2.2.x kernels
has been discovered. The vulnerability makes it possible
to "blind-spoof" TCP connections.

This vulnerability is fixed in kernels 2.2.13pre13 and
later.  Hopefully 2.2.13 will be released shortly and/or
the relevant patch from pre13 will be released as an
erratum versus 2.2.12.  Alan?
