WeeChat: Denial of Service

WeeChat: Denial of Service A processing error in WeeChat might lead to a Denial of Service. weechat 2009-04-04 2009-04-04: 01 262997 remote 0.2.6.1 0.2.6.1

Wee Enhanced Environment for Chat (WeeChat) is a light and extensible console IRC client.

Sebastien Helleu reported an array out-of-bounds error in the colored message handling.

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted PRIVMSG command, possibly leading to a Denial of Service (application crash).

There is no known workaround at this time.

All WeeChat users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-irc/weechat-0.2.6.1"
