CVE-1999-0746

This exploit targets a vulnerability in SuSE Linux's inetd.conf configuration where in.identd is started with the -w -t120 option, allowing a remote attacker to exhaust system resources by flooding the identd service with multiple connections, leading to a denial of service (DoS). The code establishes numerous TCP connections to port 113 (ident) and sends a crafted ident request to each connection.
