XChat Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability
XChat is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to properly handle unexpected data from malicious IRC users. This issue allows remote attackers to crash affected IRC clients, denying service to legitimate users. To exploit this issue, attackers send malformed data to unsuspecting users. XChat version 2.6.7 for Windows is vulnerable to this issue; other versions and platforms may also be affected. NOTE: The vendor refutes this issue, stating that the exploit has no affect on XChat. |
