What is CVE-2002-0454?

The Qpopper mail server, specifically versions 4.0.3 and earlier, is susceptible to a denial of service attack that can be triggered by remote attackers. This vulnerability enables an attacker to send a specially crafted large string, leading to excessive CPU usage and an infinite loop, effectively disrupting service.
