The asyncore module in Python before 3.2 does not properly handle
unsuccessful calls to the accept function, and does not have accompanying
documentation describing how daemon applications should handle unsuccessful
calls to the accept function, which makes it easier for remote attackers to
conduct denial of service attacks that terminate these applications via
network connections.
