A buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported in ircII. This issue is due to insufficient bounds checking of server-supplied private messages data and may potentially result in a denial of service in the client software. Though unconfirmed, exploitation may also allow for execution of arbitrary code in the context of the client. This issue was reported in ircII build 20020912. Other versions may also be affected.
