Vulnerability Description
----------------------------------------
The vulnerability can be triggered by sending over 40 LOGIN messages

A001 LOGIN Ax5000 AAAAA
Depending on the number of repeated messages (probably related to the
server resources) this will crash the server. Successful exploitation
results in a remote denial of service.
