This vulnerability exists in Milesight Video Management Systems (VMS), all firmware versions prior to 40.7.0.79-r1, due to improper input handling at camera’s web-based management interface. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted http request on the targeted network camera. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to cause a Denial of Service condition on the targeted device.

Linux kernel versions 4.9+ can be forced to make very expensive calls to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() for every incoming packet which can lead to a denial of service.
