CVE-2014-9403 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-9403):
  The CWebAdminMod::ChanPage function in modules/webadmin.cpp in ZNC before
  1.4 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL
  pointer dereference and crash) by adding a channel with the same name as an
  existing channel but without the leading # character, related to a
  "use-after-delete" error.
