Unify eWave ServletExec Denial of Service Vulnerability

Unify eWave ServletExec is vulnerable to a denial of service attack if a URL invoking the ServletExec servlet preceded by /servlet is requested. The ServletExec engine will attempt to bind a server thread over port 80 and if the web server is currently running, a java.net.BindException error will result thus halting all operations on the ServletExec engine.

Mitigation:

Restarting the application is required in order to regain normal functionality.
