(Monkeyd Denial of Service vulnerability)

    A bug in the URI processing of incoming requests allows for a Denial of
    Service to be launched against the webserver, which may cause the server
    to crash or behave sporadically.
  
Impact :

    Although there are no public exploits known for bug, users are recommended
    to upgrade to ensure the security of their infrastructure.
  
Workaround :

    There is no immediate workaround; a software upgrade is
    required. The vulnerable function in the code has been rewritten."
