While there is extensive research on remote code execution vulnerabilities, remote memory exhaustion vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure services remain dangerously understudied—posing hidden internet-scale threats. These flaws allow unauthenticated attackers to remotely deplete system memory, crashing essential services with minimal effort. This systemic blind spot threatens the resilience of the internet at scale.
