Subject: Vulnerability fixed in Quassel?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Dear all,

I'm looking for opinions regarding the commit 8b5ecd2:
https://github.com/quassel/quassel/commit/8b5ecd226f9208af3074b33d3b7cf5e14f55b138
It fixes the issue 1314: http://bugs.quassel-irc.org/issues/1314

It appears to me that this is a vulnerability in the Quassel-core
which allows clients to remotely crash the core and thus cause a
denial of service using ill-formed messages.

Would it deserve a CVE and/or fixes in distributions which ship it?
I'm not affiliated in any kind with that project, so I might not have
 enough information regarding this fix, nor legitimity to request a
CVE for this.

Looking for your comments.

With my best regards,
P. Schweitzer
