- Subject: Bug in Services for IRC Networks 4.2.2
-
- A bug has been found in versions through 4.2.2 of Services for IRC
- Networks which allows any IRC user to crash the program. The channel
- service's SET SUCCESSOR command does not properly handle the case of no
- parameters, and generates a segmentation fault attempting to access
- address zero. This bug is believed to be present in all versions since
- the SET SUCCESSOR command was introduced (in version 4.1.0).
-
- A new version, 4.2.3, has been released which fixes this bug. Users
- of prior versions of Services should upgrade immediately.
-
- Services updates are always announced on the Services mailing list;
- see http://achurch.dragonfire.net/services/about.html for information on
- subscribing to the list.
