Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in Monopd, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the server when
parsing an overly long input string received from the client. This
can be exploited to cause the server to consume large amount of CPU
and memory resources, and potentially causing a DoS.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.9.3 and prior.
