A denial-of-service vulnerability has been reported in Prosody, a XMPP

elements (attack known as zip bomb) over XMPP streams and consume all
the resources of the server.

The SAX XML parser lua-expat is also affected by this issues.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.8.2-4+deb7u1 of prosody.
