Title: UltraBoard DoS Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
UltraBoard 1.6 (and possibly all 1.x versions and the new beta Ultraboard 2000) are vulnerable to this Denial of Service attack.
A remote user is able to expend all of the available resources of the webserver by using a specially-devised request to the CGI. This request causes a fork, which will then consume the processor time and memory of the server.
Affected Products:
- UltraScripts UltraBoard 1.6.0
