An attacker causes the target to allocate excessive resources to servicing
						the attacker's request, thereby reducing the resources available for
						legitimate services and degrading or denying services. Usually, this attack
						focuses on memory allocation, but any finite resource on the target could be
						the attacked, including bandwidth, processing cycles, or other resources.
						This attack does not attempt to force this allocation through a large number
						of requests (that would be Resource Depletion through Flooding) but instead
						uses one or a small number of requests that are carefully formatted to force
						the target to allocate excessive resources to service this request(s). Often
						this attack takes advantage of a bug in the target to cause the target to
						allocate resources vastly beyond what would be needed for a normal request.
						For example, using an Integer Attack, the attacker could cause a variable
						that controls allocation for a request to hold an excessively large value.
						Excessive allocation of resources can render a service degraded or
						unavailable to legitimate users and can even lead to crashing of the
						target.
