Hi Steve, user with nickname 'unic0rn' reported: [1] https://svn.kvirc.de/kvirc/ticket/858 a deficiency in the way KVIrc IRC client extracted the "next" CTCP parameter from message pointer. A remote, authenticated attacker, valid KVIrc user, could send a specially-crafted DCC Client-To-Client Protocol (CTCP) message, like: /ctcp nickname DCC GET\rQUIT\r /ctcp nickname DCC GET\rPRIVMSG\40#channel\40:epic\40fail\r which could lead to / allow remote (KVIrc) CTCP commands execution. Different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2451: [2] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-2451 and CVE-2010-2452: [3] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-2452 Upstream patch: [3] https://svn.kvirc.de/kvirc/changeset/4693 Workaround: (from [1]) /option boolNotifyFailedDccHandshakes 0 References: [4] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330111 Could you please allocate a CVE id for this?
