Check or Attack Name: iParty denial of service

A denial of service attack exists against iParty servers. If a remote user connects to the iParty port (port 6004 is default) and sends a large amount of ^? Characters, the iParty server will shut itself down and disconnect all users. No event of this shows up in the iParty log.

There is no workaround for this vulnerability until a patch is available from iParty.
