THE PROBLEM

The Ussr Labs team has recently discovered a memory problem in the RealServer 7 Server. 
What happens is, by preforming an attack with specially-malformed information to port 7070 
it will cause the proccess containg the services to stop responding.

The Exploit: It will take down the RealServer causing it to stop all streaming media brodcasts, making it non-functional, (untill Reboot)
