DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in ignitionServer, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on
vulnerable systems.

The vulnerability is caused due to insufficient restrictions on the
"SERVER" command. The command is designed for server to server
communication, but can be exploited by clients to introduce
non-existing servers to the network.

This can further be exploited to cause a DoS by introducing multiple
servers, which can potentially flood the network.

The vulnerability reportedly affect versions 0.1.2 through 0.3.1.

SOLUTION:
The vulnerability has been fixed in version 0.3.2 and later.
