The general gist of this problem is poorly implemented TCP connection
state tracking.  You *must* track window sizes and sequence numbers
and acknowledgments to at least reduce the chance of any given TCP
packet from "outside" actually being part of that connection.


The current implementation of this in IPfilter will be covered in
a paper that is due for SANE2000 (http://www.nluug.nl/events/sane2000/).
