This host is installed with ejabberd and is prone to denial of service vulnerability.

Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service. Impact Level: Application

Upgrade to ejabberd version 2.1.7, 3.0.0-alpha-3 or later. For updates refer to http://www.ejabberd.im/

The flaw is due to an error within the parsing of certain XML input, which can be exploited to cause a high CPU and memory consumption via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references.

ejabberd versions before 2.1.7 and 3.x before 3.0.0-alpha-3
