The following errata report has been held for document update 
for RFC5961, "Improving TCP's Robustness to Blind In-Window Attacks".

--------------------------------------
Status: Held for Document Update
Type: Technical

Reported by: Wesley Eddy <wes@mti-systems.com>
Date Reported: 2017-07-12
Held by: Martin Duke (IESG)

Section: 3.2

Original Text
-------------
   [RFC0793] currently requires handling of a segment with the RST bit
   when in a synchronized state to be processed as follows:


Corrected Text
--------------
   [RFC0793] currently requires handling of a segment with the RST bit
   when not in SYN-SENT to be processed as follows:



Notes
-----
The text in section 3.2 begins by stating a change from RFC 793 for RST bit handling "when in a synchronized state" (which means all states except for LISTEN, SYN-SENT, and SYN-RECEIVED).  

Section 3.4 of RFC 793 refers to "all states but SYN-SENT", so the description of RFC 793 is inaccurate.
