TITLE:
Pirch IRC Server Response Handling Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35789

VERIFY ADVISORY:
https://secunia.com/advisories/35789/

DESCRIPTION:
His0k4 has discovered a vulnerability in Pirch, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
responses received from IRC servers. This can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into connecting to a
malicious IRC server.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.1.1190. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not connect to untrusted IRC servers.

Use another product.
