Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Desktop Orbiter, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on a vulnerable system.
Reportedly, every time a connection is made to the service on port 51054/tcp, a preview of the desktop is loaded into memory. This can be exploited to consume all available memory by connecting multiple times to the service.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 2.01. However, prior versions may also be affected.
