The PR linked below fixes a potential multi-day memory exhaustion attack that could lead to a node crash in dcrd 1.4.0. The network hardforked on 13/03/2020 and these older vulnerable clients have been forked off, hence this vulnerability has little to no impact on the working of the network.

All bug reporters are given the chance to be listed in the hall of fame, and we are happy to welcome Aaron Hook who discovered the issue above. Thanks for participating Aaron!
