Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Perforce Web Client (P4Web), which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the P4Web daemon (P4Webs.exe) when processing HTTP requests with a "Content-Length" header greater than 0 with no body. This can be exploited to cause the process to consume large amounts of CPU resources via a specially crafted HTTP request.
The vulnerability affects versions 2006.2 and prior.
