PIX - TCP SYN

mh1437

Scenario: a TCP connection is ALREADY established between an inside and outside host (3-way handshake completed). The Pix receives a packet for the inside host in this connection with TCP SYN set - what does the PIX do?

I would think it discards it but do to the recent security notices, it appears it may be passed through causing the session to reset.

Which is the case?

If the session is already established, the PIX ignores the Syn set.
