Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SoftwareX versions prior to 0.14.x and 0.15.x

Description A malicious client can exploit a issue by sending reliable-ordered packets in a way that causes all packets, except the first one, to stay in the reliable-ordered queue until the missing packet arrives. This can lead to a waste of all available server memory, as the server does not limit the size of the queue or detect this kind of abuse.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.14.x and 0.15.x, update to a fixed version to resolve the issue. At the moment, there is no information about a temporary workaround for this issue.
