Inspircd · Inspircd · CVE-2008-1925
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
InspIRCd versions prior to 1.1.18
**Description**
A buffer overflow issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a daemon crash. This occurs when a large number of channel users have crafted nicknames, idents, and long hostnames, specifically when the namesx and uhnames modules are in use.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.1.18, update to version 1.1.18 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the namesx and uhnames modules until a patch is available. Restrict access to channels with a large number of users to minimize the risk of exploitation.
