## Description

The myuser\_delete function in libathemecore/account.c in Atheme 5.x before
5.2.7, 6.x before 6.0.10, and 7.x before 7.0.0-beta2 does not properly
clean up CertFP entries when a user is deleted, which allows remote
attackers to access a different user account or cause a denial of service
(daemon crash) via a login as a deleted user.
