All potential bugs at Cisco are assigned a tracking number.  If, upon investigation, the behavior turns out that the observed behavior was due to a misunderstanding or misconfiguration, the bug report is moved into the "J" (Junked) state.

The bug report you cite is in the "Junked" state, meaning that the investegation demonstrated that there was no bug.

Hello Phillip ,

in the following blog

http://blogs.cisco.com/security/cisco-investigation-for-tcp-split-handshake-issue-reported-by-nss/#comment-156337

Russ Smoak write:

“For the new test-case, access control list rules can be applied using an access-group and used as additional countermeasures to mitigate and prevent unsolicited connection attempts between the endpoints for a TCP conversation when the client does not abort the connection as defined in the RFC protocol specification for TCP.”

which type of access-list will be configured on the Cisco ASA when the client does not abort the connection ?

Russ Smoak just answered your same question on his blog thread that you mention in your post.  Was that a satisfactory answer or can we help clarify more?

For completeteness, I reproduce the post here:

You can use access lists tune outbound policies initiated by hosts on higher security level interfaces to lower security level interfaces. As an example, you might want to block any outbound session initiation except to update servers that would be hosted on the internet which is a lower security interface. By default, all traffic is allowed to source from higher security interfaces to lower security interfac
