Original description

The description as published by the source.

Discourse is an open-source discussion platform. Prior to version 2.9.0.beta13, users can post chat messages of an unlimited length, which can cause a denial of service for other users when posting huge amounts of text. Users should upgrade to version 2.9.0.beta13, where a limit has been introduced. No known workarounds are available.
