http://secunia.com/advisories/11601/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
DoS

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Outpost Firewall Pro 2.x

DESCRIPTION:
Armin Pelkmann has reported a vulnerability in Outpost Pro Firewall,
potentially allowing malicious people to cause a Denial of Service.

The problem is that the firewall fails to handle incomplete requests
fast enough, if they are made at a high speed with random source IPs.
This causes the firewall to stop processing packets in real time.

The issue has been reported in Agnitum Outpost Pro Firewall version
2.1. Prior versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Use another product if this causes problems.
