CVE-2010-3438 (2019-11-12)

libpoe-component-irc-perl before v6.32 does not remove carriage returns and line feeds. This can be used to execute arbitrary IRC commands by passing an argument such as \"some text\\rQUIT\" to the 'privmsg' handler, which would cause the client to disconnect from the server.

Changes for version 1.4 - 2001-07-02

  • One of the fixes in 1.3 broke newline handling horribly, such that it was sending two sets of line terminators on every line. I am a doofus. Patched by Rocco Caputo.
