Title
Denial of Service Vulnerability in Web Interface of F-Secure Internet Gatekeeper
Summary
A denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability was discovered in the web user interface of F-Secure Internet Gatekeeper. The vulnerability occurs because of an attacker can trigger assertion via malformed HTTP packet to web interface. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a large username parameter. A successful exploitation could lead to a denial-of-service of the product.
