AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: BlackICE Agent versions 3.1.eal through 3.1.ebh

Description: The default configuration has a high tcp.maxconnections setting, which could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large number of connections to the BlackICE system that consumes more resources than intended by the user.

Recommendations: For BlackICE Agent versions 3.1.eal through 3.1.ebh, consider reducing the tcp.maxconnections setting to a lower value to minimize the risk of denial of service attacks.
