Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions muh version 2.05d

Description The issue concerns the logging capability in the muh IRC server, which fails to properly cleanse user-injected format strings. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands by using a malformed nickname.

Recommendations For version 2.05d, consider disabling the logging capability until a patch is available to prevent potential exploitation. Restrict access to the server to minimize the risk of arbitrary command execution. Avoid using user-injected format strings in the logging functionality until the issue is resolved.
