Unreal IRCD Cloak.C IP Address Disclosure Vulnerability

Unreal IRCD Cloak.C IP Address Disclosure Vulnerability

Unreal ircd is reported prone to a vulnerability that may allow a remote attacker to disclose a user's IP address when the IP cloaking feature is used to obfuscate the IP address. It is reported that due to a weakness in the algorithm used to cloak IP addresses in the 'cloak.c' file, an attacker can disclose a user's IP address.

Successful exploitation of this issue will reveal the IP address of a vulnerable user and the attacker can then carry out other attacks against the computer.
