The IDENT server in Caldera Linux 2.3 creates multiple threads for each IDENT request, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

Attackers can exploit this vulnerability to overload the server, leading to service unavailability for users.

It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of the operating system or implement mechanisms to limit the number of threads for IDENT requests.
