<bug_description>MLdonkey is a peer-to-peer software to sharing files. An open port tcp/4080 and the returning banner may indicate the existence of the web interface. MLdonkey may be illegal in the environment.</bug_description>
<bug_solution>Disable MLdonky if not allowed nor needed. If MLdonkey should run then filter incoming traffic on port tcp/4080 to prevent unwanted access to the web interface.</bug_solution>
