Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in Activity Monitor 2002, which allows malicious users to crash the software.
The problem is that Activity Monitor 2002 cannot handle very large packets sent to port 15163/tcp. This causes the application to crash and use a lot of CPU resources.
Solution:
Filter access at the perimeter or use a personal firewall to filter requests so that only traffic from trusted IPs is allowed.
