/-|=[explanation]=|-\
Spynet Chat is a chat server. It suffers from a
denial of service.

/-|=[who is vulnerable]=|-\
Spynet Chat 6.5
has been tested and was vulnerable. Prior versions
are assumed to be vulnerable as well.

/-|=[testing it]=|-\
By opening up roughly 100 sockets in Perl and then
using the normal Spynet Client to connect the
server crashes with:
S65server has caused an error in <unknown>.
S65server will now close.

I have made a perl script that exploits this. It is
in the advisory that is available on the DHC site.

None known at the moment.
