DESCRIPTION:
Jason Geffner has reported some vulnerabilities in UFO: Alien
Invasion, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the IRC
protocol support, which can be exploited to cause buffer overflows by
e.g. sending specially crafted IRC messages.

Successful exploitation requires that a user is tricked into
connecting to a malicious IRC server.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 2.1.1. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.3.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Jason Geffner, NGSSoftware
