Package name: BitchX
Date: 2000-12-14
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:079
Affected versions: 6.1 i586 , 7.0 i586 , 7.1 i586 , 7.2 i586

Problem description

Two bugs exist in the BitchX IRC client. A possible stack overflow condition exists if a malformed DNS answer is processed by the client, and the second bug allows this malformed DNS record to be embedded in a valid DNS packet. Without the second bug, the malformed DNS record wouldn't be processed "correctly."
