Comments
LeBlanc> Sun"s Java specification does not provide for limits on the | number of sockets that can be opened. We didn"t write the spec, we just | implemented it. Aside from the issue of EX-CLIENT-DOS issues noted in my | comments on CVE-2001-0322, the vuln would need to be recast to show that | the actual problem lies in Java. If the description is recast to show | that the issue is in Sun"s Java specification, then please change my | vote to NOOP, as per the "don"t vote on issues with other vendors" rule. | Frech> XF:win-udp-dos(6070)
