VUNERABILITY / EXPLOIT
======================

 Upon execution perledit ( pe.exe ) binds to local TCP port 1956.
Connecting via Telnet localy or remotely causes the program
to crash, resulting in a total loss of any unsaved data.

This test was run on XP running perledit 1.06 and 1.07 connecting
via XPpro / Win2kpro telnet.exe, pressing enter, then exiting via
the close dialog box.

------------- 'sploit -------------------------

telnet host-running-perledit 1956

READY

( exit telnet ) remote perledit crashes.


 Further investigation may lead to more serious issues, I did not
persue as this was bad enough.
