According to the versions of the irssi package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in Irssi before 1.0.4. When     receiving messages with invalid time stamps, Irssi     would try to dereference a NULL     pointer.(CVE-2017-10965)

  - An issue was discovered in Irssi before 1.0.4. While     updating the internal nick list, Irssi could     incorrectly use the GHashTable interface and free the     nick while updating it. This would then result in     use-after-free conditions on each access of the hash     table.(CVE-2017-10966)

  - In Irssi before 1.0.3, when receiving a DCC message     without source nick/host, it attempts to dereference a     NULL pointer. Thus, remote IRC servers can cause a     crash.(CVE-2017-9468)

  - In Irssi before 1.0.3, when receiving certain     incorrectly quoted DCC files, it tries to find the     terminating quote one byte before the allocated memory.
    Thus, remote attackers might be able to cause a     crash.(CVE-2017-9469)

  - In Irssi before 1.0.6, a calculation error in the     completion code could cause a heap buffer overflow when     completing certain strings.(CVE-2018-5208)

  - Irssi before 0.8.21 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) via a     string containing a formatting sequence (%[) without a     closing bracket (]).(CVE-2017-5356)

  - The nickcmp function in Irssi before 0.8.21 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference and crash) via a message without a     nick.(CVE-2017-5193)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in Irssi before 0.8.21     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (crash) via an invalid nick message.(CVE-2017-5194)

  - When the channel topic is set without specifying a     sender, Irssi before 1.0.6 may dereference a NULL     pointer.(CVE-2018-5206)

  - When using an incomplete variable argument, Irssi     before 1.0.6 may access data beyond the end of the     string.(CVE-2018-5207)

  - When using incomplete escape codes, Irssi before 1.0.6     may access data beyond the end of the     string.(CVE-2018-5205)

Some Irssi issues were found :

CVE-2017-10965

  An issue was discovered in Irssi before 1.0.4. When receiving messages with   invalid time stamps, Irssi would try to dereference a NULL pointer.

CVE-2017-10966

  An issue was discovered in Irssi before 1.0.4. While updating the internal   nick list, Irssi could incorrectly use the GHashTable interface and free   the nick while updating it. This would then result in use-after-free   conditions on each access of the hash table.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.8.15-5+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your irssi packages.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Irssi, a terminal based IRC client. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2017-10965     Brian 'geeknik' Carpenter of Geeknik Labs discovered     that Irssi does not properly handle receiving messages     with invalid time stamps. A malicious IRC server can     take advantage of this flaw to cause Irssi to crash,     resulting in a denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-10966     Brian 'geeknik' Carpenter of Geeknik Labs discovered     that Irssi is susceptible to a use-after-free flaw     triggered while updating the internal nick list. A     malicious IRC server can take advantage of this flaw to     cause Irssi to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-15227     Joseph Bisch discovered that while waiting for the     channel synchronisation, Irssi may incorrectly fail to     remove destroyed channels from the query list, resulting     in use after free conditions when updating the state     later on. A malicious IRC server can take advantage of     this flaw to cause Irssi to crash, resulting in a denial     of service.

  - CVE-2017-15228     Hanno Boeck reported that Irssi does not properly handle     installing themes with unterminated colour formatting     sequences, leading to a denial of service if a user is     tricked into installing a specially crafted theme.

  - CVE-2017-15721     Joseph Bisch discovered that Irssi does not properly     handle incorrectly formatted DCC CTCP messages. A remote     attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause Irssi     to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-15722     Joseph Bisch discovered that Irssi does not properly     verify Safe channel IDs. A malicious IRC server can take     advantage of this flaw to cause Irssi to crash,     resulting in a denial of service.

  - CVE-2017-15723     Joseph Bisch reported that Irssi does not properly     handle overlong nicks or targets resulting in a NULL     pointer dereference when splitting the message and     leading to a denial of service.

New irssi packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and
-current to fix security issues.

irssi reports :

When receiving messages with invalid time stamps, Irssi would try to dereference a NULL pointer.

While updating the internal nick list, Irssi may incorrectly use the GHashTable interface and free the nick while updating it. This will then result in use-after-free conditions on each access of the hash table.

This update for irssi to version fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2017-10965: A malicious server could cause irssi to     crash by providing an invalid timestamp

  - CVE-2017-10966: Undefined behavior may be triggered when     irssi updates the internal nick list

A number of minor upstream bug fixes are also included.
