Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in ARMIDA, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on a vulnerable web server.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of overly long HTTP requests. This can be exploited by sending a 500,000 character long request, which causes the web service to consume 88% - 90% CPU resources.
Example:
http://[victim]/AAAA...[500,000]...AAAA
