This Metasploit module uses a denial-of-service (DoS) condition appearing in a variety of programming languages. This vulnerability occurs when storing multiple values in a hash table and all values have the same hash value. This can cause a web server parsing the POST parameters issued with a request into a hash table to consume hours of CPU with a single HTTP request. Currently, only the hash functions for PHP and Java are implemented. This Metasploit module was tested with PHP + httpd, Tomcat, Glassfish and Geronimo. It also generates a random payload to bypass some IDS signatures.

Analysis of an Electronic Voting System - This paper describes several security flaws in Diebold electronic voting machines. Voters may be able to cast multiple ballots with little built in traceability, administrative functions can be performed by regular voters, and inside poll workers, software developers, and janitors can rig the vote. The smart card system is insecure and uses plaintext passwords. The code appears unaudited and there is no ability to do a paper recount.
