CVE-2012-6084 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-6084):
  modules/m_capab.c in (1) ircd-ratbox before 3.0.8 and (2) Charybdis before
  3.4.2 does not properly support capability negotiation during server
  handshakes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL
  pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a malformed request.
