Synopsis
=======
A vulnerability has been found in Atheme which may lead to Denial of
Service or a bypass of security restrictions.

Background

Atheme is a portable and secure set of open-source and modular IRC
services. CertFP is certificate fingerprinting used to authenticate
users to nicknames.

Affected packages

Description
==========
The myuser_delete() function in account.c does not properly remove
CertFP entries when deleting user accounts.

Impact

A remote authenticated attacker may be able to cause a Denial of
Service condition or gain access to an Atheme IRC Services user
account.

Workaround
