>Description:
We detected that weechat is vulnerable to a crash when sending a special coloured message. This vulnerability hits versions old from one year ago to now.
The patch was pushed, but we need to update ports as soon as possible. I sended a mail to the port maintener, but without fast answer, I'm trying here.
https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?37704 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/weechat.git/commit/?id=9453e81baa7935db82a0b765a47cba772aba730d
>How-To-Repeat:
The Proof Of Concept is private. It's to avoid scripts kiddies to send a forged message on popular irc channels.
>Fix:
Just update your clients! (or run /set irc.network.colors_receive off)
The two ports to update is weechat and weechat-devel
