Sessions Resource Exhaustion

Subject: Sessions Resource Exhaustion
Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2007 09:14:02 -0700
using simple tools such as hping2 and others, i am able to exhaust
session resources in some firewall and IPS devices. some firewalls and
IPS devices addressing small business market segments seems to be
supporting maximum of 10000 sessions.  these devices are not allowing
any new connections if all 10000 sessions are used up.

can i say that these devices are vulnerable to simple DoS attacks?

thanks
Ravi
