Summary

The GDM application prior to specified versions allows attackers to exploit its handling of commands due to a lack of limits on command volume and execution duration. By establishing a blocking socket connection and sending numerous commands without appropriate response handling, adversaries can overwhelm system resources, leading to a denial of service. This makes affected systems unresponsive, posing serious operational risks.
