Description: A vulnerability was reported in the Reptile Web Server. A remote user can cause denial of service conditions on the target system.
Donato Ferrante reported that a remote user can send a series of HTTP GET requests that do not contain the HTTP version string to cause the target web service to consume excessive CPU resources.
It is reported that a remote user can send the following request (assuming that the requested file is a file that exists on the target server) approximately 10 times to cause denial of service conditions on the server:
GET index.htm
Impact: A remote user can cause excessive CPU resource consumption on the target system.
Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry.
The report indicates that the project is no longer supported.
