<p>
|

|
|
an IRC server during the connection process.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A malicious IRC server could send a long PRIVMSG string to the KSirc
|
|
client causing an assertion failure and the dereferencing of a null
|
|
pointer, resulting in a crash.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

</workaround>

|
<resolution>

<code>

|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-base/ksirc-3.5.5-r1"</code>
