Description:
Luigi Auriemma and Donato Ferrante have discovered a vulnerability in Chat Anywhere, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
It is possible to flood a channel with fake users and thereby cause the system to become unstable and consume a large amount of CPU resources on client systems.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.72a. Prior versions are reportedly also affected.
