Section 3.10.7.3 says:
o A potential blind reset attack is described in RFC 5961 [9]. The mitigation described in that document has specific applicability explained therein, and is not a substitute for cryptographic protection (e.g., IPsec or TCP-AO). A TCP implementation that supports the mitigation described in RFC 5961 SHOULD first check that the sequence number exactly matches RCV.NXT prior to executing the action in the next paragraph.
It should say:
[ The text is removed - see notes]
Notes:
This entire bullet is removed as RFC 5961 adds no rules to the handling
