+ KVIrc is a free portable IRC client based on Qt.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Stefan Cornelius from Secunia Research discovered that the
+ "parseIrcUrl()" function in file src/kvirc/kernel/kvi_ircurl.cpp does
+ not properly sanitise parts of the URI when building the command for
+ KVIrc's internal script system.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
+ irc:// URI, possibly leading to the remote execution of arbitrary code
+ with the privileges of the user running KVIrc. Successful exploitation
+ requires that KVIrc is registered as the default handler for irc:// or
+ similar URIs.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All KVIrc users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-irc/kvirc-3.2.6_pre20070714"</code>
