Description:
NSFocus Security Team has reported a vulnerability in various RealSecure/BlackICE products, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the detection of the MailSlot buffer overflow vulnerability (MS06-035) and can be exploited to cause an infinite loop by sending a specially crafted SMB MailSlot packet.

Successful exploitation causes the application or system to stop responding.
