CVE-2010-3438 (2019-11-12)

libpoe-component-irc-perl before v6.32 does not remove carriage returns and line feeds. This can be used to execute arbitrary IRC commands by passing an argument such as \"some text\\rQUIT\" to the 'privmsg' handler, which would cause the client to disconnect from the server.

Changes for version 2.1 - 2002-03-04

  • Added a long-buried patch from thefly to fix IRCnet channel name parsing. Sorry about the long turnaround on that one.
  • Applied Scott Beck's patch to Rocco's refcount patch. The whole "sessions not being GCed" brain-damage should be fixed now.
