Description
The issue allows a remote IRC server to cause a denial of service by rapidly sending a large amount of error messages.
Recommendations
For LeafChat version 1.7, consider restricting the rate at which error messages are processed from remote IRC servers to prevent denial of service attacks. As a temporary workaround, limiting the number of connections from a single IRC server may also help mitigate the risk.
