Armida Databased Web Server 1.0 - Remote GET Request Denial of Service Vulnerability

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/8017/info

Armida Databased Web Server is reportedly prone to a remote denial of service when process malicious GET requests. The problem occurs when processing requests containing excessive data.

Exploitation of this vulnerability would result in the remote service crashing. 
Although unconfirmed, due to the nature of this vulnerability it may be possible to supply and execute arbitrary code.
