Description:
t0pP8uZz has discovered a vulnerability in the Dana IRC client, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of IRC messages. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long message sent to the client.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.3. Other versions may also be affected.
