This issue affects the 5.x series only [0]: 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3. There was a partial fix in 5.3 which resulted in 5.3.1 needing to be released. "How serious is the flood issue? Can it be abused? It can be triggered on purpose but it can also be triggered accidentally. It will start a flood between servers which can consume high amounts of bandwidth. Other than high bandwidth and possibly high CPU usage there will be no signs of the flood to IRCOps. If you only have one UnrealIRCd 5.x server then the issue cannot be triggered. Which UnrealIRCd versions are affected? UnrealIRCd 5.0.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0.2. The UnrealIRCd 4.x series are not affected." [0] https://forums.unrealircd.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8978
@maintainer(s), please drop 5.0.1, 5.0.3. Note that 4.x series was unaffected.
