critical

Description

The loadUserSettings function in Load.php in Simple Machines Forum (SMF) before 1.1.13, and 2.x before 2.0 RC5, does not properly handle invalid login attempts, which might make it easier for remote attackers to obtain access or cause a denial of service via a brute-force attack.
