Hi, one thing that I want to make the WG aware of in the latest RFC 
793bis draft is the new security and privacy considerations section.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tcpm-rfc793bis-07#section-6

The original RFC 793 predates security considerations sections, so I 
didn't have much to start from.  My goal was to point to relevant 
references without creating dozens of pages of meandering text on every 
little possible security issue (most of which are well-known by now).

This is a first crack at it, and it could likely be improved in big 
ways.  Your feedback, suggestions, corrections, etc. is appreciated.
