eMule's Web Control Panel Vulnerable to DoS (Long Password)
23 Oct. 2003
Summary
eMule is "a new filesharing client which is based on the eDonkey2000 network, but offers more features than the standard eDonkey client, because it's open source but under the restrictions of the GPL License".
A vulnerability in eMule's web based Control Panel allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service against the product.

By posting a very long arbitrary password request to the "login" CGI, it is possible to cause a denial of service against eMule (NOTE: The Control Panel is not enabled by default).
