Hi, It was found that quasselcore is vulnerable to a denial of service attack by unauthenticated clients. The protocol negotiation did not take into account lack of a match, in which case PeerFactory::createPeer returns a nullptr, which is immediately dereferenced [1]. This issue was introduced in commit d1bf207 [2] (version 0.10.0 and later), and fixed in commit e678873 [3] (tagged as version 0.12.4). Can a CVE be assigned to this issue?
