IBM Director CIM Server Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

The CIM Server from the IBM Director suite is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because the application fails to properly handle multiple simultaneous network connections.

Successfully exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to consume excessive CPU resources and to trigger crashes, which would deny further service to legitimate users.

IBM Director 5.20.1 and prior versions on Linux and Microsoft Windows platforms are affected.
