Summary:	GeoServer is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: GeoServer is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: An error exists when PartialBufferOutputStream2 flushes the buffer contents even when it is handling an 'in memory buffer', which prevents the reporting of a service exception, with unknown impact and attack vectors. Vulnerability Impact: Successful attacks may lead to failure to report service exception if the code encoding the output calls flush() before having written the full contents to the output.
