**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Undernet ircu versions 2.10.12.12 and earlier
snircd versions 1.3.4 and earlier
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a daemon crash, by sending a malformed MODE command. This is due to a problem in the `send user mode` function.
**Recommendations**
For Undernet ircu versions 2.10.12.12 and earlier, consider disabling the `send user mode` function until a patch is available.
For snircd versions 1.3.4 and earlier, restrict access to the MODE command to minimize the risk of exploitation.
