Issue:
======
TippingPoint IPS is prone to DoS when a sequence of crafted packets are
destined for port 80.

When quickly flooded with packets destined for port 80, and an incrementing
source port this causes the software to consume a huge amount of CPU time,
due to a badly written loop, causing the device to stop responding.
