Hi,

From [1] thee is an security notice from the XMPP Standards Foundation
affecting several XMPP server implementations:

The XMPP Standards Foundation has published a security notice
describing an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in
several XMPP server implementations that support application-layer
compression. Details can be found at:

http://xmpp.org/resources/security-notices/uncontrolled-resource-consumption-with-highly-compressed-xmpp-stanzas/

Is this something which should get one CVE, or is a CVE for each
implementation needed?

Regards,
Salvatore
