The bug allows an attacker to crash the entire device, causing a "Fatal Error", rendering the device unusable until it is reset completely. PalmOS can only handle 1 client connection, but '[Only registered and activated users can see links]' implements a while(1) loop to accept() connections forever. Because of this, [Only registered and activated users can see links] will accept more than 1 connection, which PalmOS literally CANNOT do. The result is a dialog box saying "Fatal Error, NetStack1.c overflowed accept queue", which "Reset" button. Enjoy IT!
