Potential Denial of Service Problem in Allaire Spectra 1.0
Jan 03, 2000
Problem: When installing Allaire Spectra 1.0, a web-based Configuration Wizard is used to finalize a number of configuration settings, including a step that indexes data collections on the server. This step of the Configuration Wizard can be accessed via URL and the collections can be resubmitted for indexing. This could be used in a denial of service attack on an Allaire Spectra server.
