Philips Clinical Collaboration Platform, Versions 12.2.1 and prior. The software does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource, thereby enabling an attacker to influence the amount of resources consumed, eventually leading to the exhaustion of available resources.

Weakness

A protocol or its implementation supports interaction between multiple actors and allows those actors to negotiate which algorithm should be used as a protection mechanism such as encryption or authentication, but it does not select the strongest algorithm that is available to both parties.
