Description:
Toni Viemerö has identified a vulnerability in leafnode, allowing malicious people to cause a Denial of Service.
The problem is that news messages with missing mandatory header lines or missing body causes leafnode to hang indefinitely waiting for more data. This allows malicious people to cause a Denial of Service.
Version 1.9.47 and prior is vulnerable.
Solution:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfi...?group_id=57767&release_id=182196
