TITLE:
FiSH Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24495

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24495/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
FiSH 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/13640/

DESCRIPTION:
ilja has reported some vulnerabilities in FiSH, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or
potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors when processing
certain commands (e.g. PRIVMSG). These can be exploited to e.g. crash
the client or cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted IRC command sent to the client.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Use another product.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
ilja
