[issue13891] CPU DoS With Python's socket module

[John Zimmerman]

Hi Antoine, 

The issue is that the CPU spikes to ~90% utilization for the server during the attack, for as long as the attack lasts.  So the theory is that Python isn't throttling or processing the malformed packets properly.  Copying Renier for any additional info.

Thanks,
John
