Description:
Shaun Colley has reported a vulnerability in httpd and a product based on this (palmhttpd), which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The problem is that PalmOS can only handle 1 client connection at a time, while httpd accepts multiple connections. This can be exploited to overflow the accept queue and thereby crash a vulnerable PDA by making numerous simultaneous connections to it.
