Causing a crash is an excellent vector for a denial-of-service attack.



If you can make your service allocate 10G of memory, it's already a denial of service attack.


Usually unexpected exception results in a HTTP 500 response (or something similar) and few lines in the log. It does not result in stopped server.


It's an exception, not a crash.
