+ <p>
+ Nemo discovered an off-by-one error leading to a heap overflow in
+ irssi's event_wallops() parsing function.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker might entice a user to connect to a malicious IRC
+ server, use a man-in-the-middle attack to redirect a user to such a
+ server or use ircop rights to send a specially crafted WALLOPS message,
+ which might result in the execution of arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the user running irssi.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All irssi users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-irc/irssi-0.8.13-r1&quot;</code>
