Title: Beck IPC GmbH IPC@CHIP HTTP DoS Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
IPC@CHIP is a single chip embedded web server by Beck IPC GmbH.
A denial of service condition exists in IPC@CHIP. Submitting an unusally long HTTP request could cause the host to stop responding. It has been reported that the DoS condition will rectify itself after a short period of time.
If an attacker continuously submitted a long HTTP request, the length of the DoS condition would be dependant on the number of times the attacker submitted the request.
A restart of the server may help to rectify this issue.
* Conflicting reports exist. The vendor feels that the reported issue is not possible. The following is from Ernest Schlösser <es@bcl.de> of BECK IPC GmbH: "Downtime is not longer as it takes to process the request. No misbehaviour could be reproduced."
