Synopsis :
A web application running on the remote host has a denial of service
vulnerability.
Description :
The remote web server is hosting a web application that uses
FCKeditor.Java, which is used to run FCKeditor in a Java environment.
Input to the 'CurrentFolder' parameter of the connector servlet is
not sanitized properly. It is possible to create a specially crafted
request that could put the web server into an infinite loop. A
remote attacker could use this to create a denial of service.
