http://secunia.com/advisories/30681/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Dana IRC Client 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/19061/

DESCRIPTION:
t0pP8uZz has discovered a vulnerability in the Dana IRC client, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing
of IRC messages. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow via an overly long message sent to the client.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.3. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not connect to untrusted IRC servers or to IRC servers allowing
access to untrusted users.
