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 2.6

  • Brian Kelly thoughtfully pointed out an URL in the documentation that was being mangled by pod2html. Should look better now.
  • Added a note about handling CTCP actions to the POD documentation, since that seems to be a source of confusion for a lot of people.
  • Added a 'list' event, which I seem to have overlooked entirely until now. Thanks to J.D. McCown for pointing it out.
  • Attempted to add Jim Westfall's asynchronous DNS patch, but I really need to learn a little more about IPv6 before I attempt to port somebody else's code to it. Hopefully in the next release.
