Synopsis ========
KSirc is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack.
Background ==========
KSirc is the default KDE IRC client.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 kde-base/ksirc < 3.5.5-r1 >= 3.5.5-r1
Description ===========
KSirc fails to check the size of an incoming PRIVMSG string sent from an IRC server during the connection process.
Impact ======
A malicious IRC server could send a long PRIVMSG string to the KSirc client causing an assertion failure and the dereferencing of a null pointer, resulting in a crash.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All KSirc users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-base/ksirc-3.5.5-r1"
