Description Tobias Heinlein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-04-11 10:04:07 UTC 
"This release fixes two security issues: The first being that Irssi didn't check hostname on SSL connections and the other being a hard to exploit remote crash bug."

Sven, can 0.8.15 go stable?
Comment 1 Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2010-04-22 17:38:51 UTC 
Fixing summary.
Sven: Please advise.

CVE-2010-1155 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-1155):
  Irssi before 0.8.15, when SSL is used, does not verify that the
  server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name
  (CN) field or a Subject Alternative Name field of the X.509
  certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof IRC
  servers via an arbitrary certificate.

CVE-2010-1156 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-1156):
  core/nicklist.c in Irssi before 0.8.15 allows remote attackers to
  cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application
  crash) via vectors related to an attempted fuzzy nick match at the
  instant that a victim leaves a channel.
