SSL and TCP RST/SYN attack

[David Zhang <david.zhang1965 () gmail com>]

Hi all:
I would like to ask a question about SSL. Consider the situation that
a man in the middle. Because he can always fake TCP RST/SYN packet, so
he can always block the client to get service from the https server.

So can I say that this is an intrinsic vulnerable in SSL, as
considering the situation that the attacker is in the same LAN with
the client, the attacker can always block the client to reach his
server (say on-line banking)?

Thanks
David
