  <description>
    <p>Two vulnerabilities have been found in Quassel:</p>
    
    <ul>
      <li>Quassel does not properly handle multiple CTCP requests
        (CVE-2010-3443).
      </li>
      <li>Quassel, when used with certain versions of Qt and PostgreSQL, does
        not sanitize user input (CVE-2013-4422).
      </li>
    </ul>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could send multiple CTCP requests in single private
      message, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition. Futhermore,
      a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary SQL statements.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Quassel users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-irc/quassel-0.9.1"
    </code>
