HTTP: Allaire JRUN DoS
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Allaire JRun 3.0/3.1. Attackers can send a long string of "." characters after the /servlet/ prefix in the URL to cause the server to interpret the URL as a very large tree of non-existent directories; consequently consuming system resources and causing a denial-of-service condition.
Extended Description
A denial of service condition exists in the JRun web application server. Requesting multiple malformed URLs by way of the java servlet, will cause the JRun application server to stop responding.
Affected Products
- Macromedia JRun 3.0.0
