Recently i have been using a dialup 56k account to access the net
and have noticed that when my ssh session times out and I am editing
a file in ` ee ' the system goes to 99% cpu usage and stays like
this till the pid is killed.
This is a standard user account (not root/su)
Would a user be able to create a denial of service condition
on the remote system using this bug?
(sorry if this is posted to the incorrect list)
Details:
System - FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p5
ee using 99% cpu after user session terminates abnormaly
PID reported by top.
The output from ps looks like this
[root at blah][~]$ ps aux| grep 70464
someuser 70464 93.5 0.1 1920 1372 p1- R 7:09PM 687:07.27 ee file
