Description Vincent Danen 2010-12-16 21:17:49 UTC 
It was reported [1] that IRC bots that do not take care of removing carriage returns and line feeds from parameters that they send to the IRC component are vulnerable to potential arbitrary IRC command execution.  An example would be passing an argument of 'foo bar\rQUIT' to the 'privmsg' handler to cause the client to disconnect from the server.

This has been corrected [2] upstream in version 6.32.

Oh, sad.  I even filed the other bug.  Sorry about that.  I'll add the CVE alias to the other bug then.  Thanks!
