Not rated as a security issue upstream, however letting you know anyway: http://www.inspircd.org/2015/04/16/v2019-released.html This release fixes the issues discovered since 2.0.18, containing multiple important stability and correctness related improvements, including a fix for a bug which allowed malformed DNS records to cause netsplits on a network. Triggering this issue is non-trivial and it may not occur in all circumstances, but all users are advised to upgrade. If that���s not possible, disabling DNS lookups for connecting users (nouserdns setting) mitigates the problem. server:irc inspircd 2.0.18
