Evolvable Shambala Server 4.5 - Web Server Denial of Service

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4897/info

Shambala Server is a FTP, Web, and Chat server targeted for the Small Office/Home Office user.

It has been reported that Shambala Server's web server may be prone to a denial of service vulnerability. The denial of service condition is a result of the web server failing to handle malformed requests.

* PoC exploit for the DoS in Shambala Server 4.5        			*

* as described in Telhack 026 Inc. S.A. #3 (BID:4897).  			*

* I have also built in a function that exploits another 			*

* DoS condition found by zillion a long long time ago.  			*

* Also refined my DoS a little bit by just using one                            *

* char that mess up Shambala.                                                   *

* I found that zillion had only been almost right, it                           *

* is not opening a lot of TCP connection that generates                         *

* the DoS that he found, it is just one TCP connection,                         *

* but it certainly has to do with bad connection handling                       *
