Comments (Legacy) 
 LeBlanc> Sun's Java specification does not provide for limits on the
   number of sockets that can be opened. We didn't write the spec, we just
   implemented it. Aside from the issue of EX-CLIENT-DOS issues noted in my
   comments on CVE-2001-0322, the vuln would need to be recast to show that
   the actual problem lies in Java. If the description is recast to show
   that the issue is in Sun's Java specification, then please change my
   vote to NOOP, as per the "don't vote on issues with other vendors" rule.
 Frech> XF:win-udp-dos(6070)
