IRSSI-SA-2017-07 Irssi Security Advisory
============================================
CVE-2017-10965, CVE-2017-10966.

Description
-----------

Two vulnerabilities have been located in Irssi.

(a) When receiving messages with invalid time stamps, Irssi would try
    to dereference a NULL pointer. Found by Brian 'geeknik' Carpenter
    of Geeknik Labs. (CWE-690)

    CVE-2017-10965 [2] was assigned to this bug

(b) While updating the internal nick list, Irssi may incorrectly use
    the GHashTable interface and free the nick while updating it. This
    will then result in use-after-free conditions on each access of
    the hash table. Found by Brian 'geeknik' Carpenter of Geeknik
    Labs. (CWE-416 caused by CWE-227)

    CVE-2017-10966 [3] was assigned to this bug


Impact
------

(a) May result in denial of service (remote crash).

(b) Undefined behaviour.


Affected versions
-----------------

All Irssi versions that we observed.


Fixed in
--------

Irssi 1.0.4


Recommended action
------------------

Upgrade to Irssi 1.0.4. Irssi 1.0.4 is a maintenance release in the
1.0 series, without any new features.

After installing the updated packages, one can issue the /upgrade
command to load the new binary. TLS connections will require
/reconnect.


Mitigating facts
----------------

(a) requires control over the ircd

(b) should not happen with a conforming ircd


Patch
-----

Thank you for the version bump Patrice. Please call for stabilization once you feel it is sufficiently ready for it.
