3) Description of Vulnerability

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in various HP 
products, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS
(Denial of Service).

The HP OpenView Trace Service exposes an RPC service on TCP port 5051
or 5053 that does not require authentication. By sending a particular
sequence of RPC requests, an object is incorrectly referenced, which
