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 2.7

  • Fixed up the example scripts to play nicer with POE's new signal handling. Thanks to dngor for bringing this up.
  • Added a patch by lunartear to properly handle spaces in DCC filenames.
  • Fixed a bug reported by Robert Rendler regarding CTCP quoting accidentally duplicating backslashes.
