NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream citadel package and not the citadel package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

modules/xmpp/serv_xmpp.c in Citadel 7.86 and earlier does not properly detect recursion during entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references, a similar issue to CVE-2003-1564.
