Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in PvPGN, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The problem is caused due to boundary errors in the handling of the commands "/watchall" and "/unwatchall". This can be exploited by supplying an overly long argument to cause a buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation can potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability reportedly affects all versions prior to 1.6.5.
