HTTP: phpBB Search Flood DoS
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the phpBB forum software. A flood of search requests can consume a large amount of system resources on a phpBB server. A malicious attacker can send a continued stream of malformed requests to keep the server from answering valid requests, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.
