DESCRIPTION:
Sowhat has reported a vulnerability in Darwin Streaming Server, which
can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the web-based admin
interface when handling HTTP requests containing MS-DOS device names
with ".cgi" extension appended (e.g. AUX.cgi).

Successful exploitation causes the service to stop responding.
