Description:
Scott Sinclair has reported a vulnerability in irssi, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the "dcc_ctcp_resume_parse()" function in "dcc-resume.c". This can be exploited to crash a vulnerable client by sending a specially crafted DCC ACCEPT message with too few parameters.
