HTTP: Drupal Core XML-RPC Endpoint Tags Denial of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Drupal Core XMLRPC Endpoint. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition. The vulnerability is due to an input validation error when XML-RPC endpoint handles an unreasonably large number of tags, which can cause a very high CPU load and memory exhaustion.
