Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
irssi versions prior to 1.0.1
Description
The issue concerns memory leaks and security problems in the irssi IRC textmode client. It includes a memory leak in the /OP and /VOICE commands, and another during the processing of the SASL response. There is also a mention of a missing NULL termination in perl parse. These issues have been fixed in version 1.0.1.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.0.1, update to version 1.0.1 to fix the bugs and security issues. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the /OP and /VOICE commands and the SASL response processing until the update is applied.
