the finding that many-way collisions in iterated hash functions cost little more than single collisions, so concatenating hashes adds little security.

In cryptography, multicollision attack refers to the finding that many-way collisions in iterated hash functions cost little more than single collisions, so concatenating hashes adds little security. This meaning comes from Joux (2004) in Lecture Notes in Computer Science.[1]
