The 17046 Ethernet card before 94450214LFMT100SEM-L.R3-CL for the GE Digital Energy Hydran M2 does not properly generate random values for TCP Initial Sequence Numbers (ISNs), which makes it easier for remote attackers to spoof packets by predicting these values.

Weakness

The product’s random number generator produces a series of values which, when observed, can be used to infer a relatively small range of possibilities for the next value that could be generated.
