I thought others are interested, hence posting this. I got following answer.
DoS: Attacks which makes service unavailable for genuine users.
Attacks resulting to 100% CPU utilization, Memory Leaks, hangs etc..
Exploit : Attacks that crash the application/service which enables
attacker to gain access to application/service/machine.
