Discussion

Trend Micro PC-Cillin DoS Vulnerability

PC-cillin is a network and desktop antivirus program. The Java/ActiveX protection feature routes all http requests through an internal proxy on port 8431.

Sending a malformed http request to port 8431 will cause the target site to utilize all available CPU resources. A restart of the service is required in order to gain normal functionality.
