|
Stefan Cornelius from Secunia Research discovered that the
|
|
"parseIrcUrl()" function in file src/kvirc/kernel/kvi_ircurl.cpp does
|
|
not properly sanitise parts of the URI when building the command for
|
|
KVIrc's internal script system.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
|
|
irc:// URI, possibly leading to the remote execution of arbitrary code
|
|
with the privileges of the user running KVIrc. Successful exploitation
|
|
requires that KVIrc is registered as the default handler for irc:// or
|
|
similar URIs.

|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

All KVIrc users should upgrade to the latest version:
