Any malicious program that exhausts a system's resources is known as a:
Rabbit
Zombie
Trojan horse
Bot
A rabbit (also known as computer bacteria) in computing and cryptovirology is any computer program (usually malicious) which lacks a logic bomb.[1] Rabbits tend to replicate themselves or perform actions at a rate which ultimately lowers the computer's available resources to the point that it runs slowly or becomes unresponsive. Rabbit programs may be intentional, or the result of an oversight during programming. Rabbit programs are named for their similarity to biological rabbits and bacteria, which have a high rate of reproduction and replication over a short period of time.

EDIT: This question needs to be deleted. Can't find any information on 'Rabbit' other than a potential virus or bug (they're not even sure) from 50 years ago. The Wikipedia (really, wikipedia?) page referenced redirects to a page on Fork Bomb, a DoS. I suggest rewriting this to reference either Fork Bomb or Wabbit (since they are more common terms). And big gripe here - "ANY malicious program" is not necessarily a wabbit, fork bomb, or....rabbit. Yes, needs to be completely rewritten. Might as well scrap it altogether
