Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mambo (affected versions not specified) Joomla! (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to disk consumption and web-server outage, by making multiple requests with different values of the feed parameter to the rss.php file, which is related to the com rss option.
