It has been reported that the eMule Web Control Panel HTTP login mechanism may be prone to denial of service attacks. The issue is said to occur due to the mechanism failing to verify the origin of data transmitted via a login form. As a result, eMule expects a limited number of password characters to be transmitted when attempting to login. By making use of a malicious form, it may be possible for an attacker to transmit excessive data to eMule and effectively trigger a denial of service.
