Summary		(es) Discourse es una plataforma para la discusión comunitaria. Para los campos que el cliente puede editar, no se imponen límites de tamaño. Esto permite que un actor malintencionado haga que una instancia de Discourse utilice espacio en disco excesivo y, a menudo, también ancho de banda excesivo. El problema está parcheado en 3.1.4 y 3.2.0.beta4.
