Synopsis
========

An information disclosure vulnerability in InspIRCd may allow remote
attackers to obtain sensitive information.

Background
==========

InspIRCd is a modular Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server written in C++
which was created from scratch to be stable, modern and lightweight.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected

  1  net-irc/inspircd             < 3.10.0                  >= 3.10.0

Description
===========

InspIRCd incorrectly handled malformed PONG messages, resulting in
access of freed memory.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could send crafted packets to the server, possibly
allowing them to obtain sensitive information.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All InspIRCd users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-irc/inspircd-3.10.0"
