TFTP: Message Too Short
This protocol anomaly is a truncated TFTP packet. This can indicate a malicious client or a tunneling attempt.
Extended Description
TFTP packets that are insufficiently long are protocol anomalies that should be monitored, as they could indicate an attack attempt. The effect of such anomalous packets on a network is dependent on the TFTP implementation that handles them.
