BitchX Trojaned Distribution Authentication Bypass

The remote host is running the BitchX IRC client that may contain a backdoor. BitchX, if downloaded between 12-Apr-2003 and 13-Apr-2003, could cause a backdoor to be installed on the victim’s computer. One of the FTP sites that was linked from the BitchX website was a false FTP site, and the BitchX IRC Client 1.0 c19 was modified to include a Trojan Horse. Once the Trojan Horse is executed it attempts to connect to 207.178.61.5 on port 6667. This could allow a remote attacker to gain access to systems that have installed the compromised BitchX distributions and execute commands with the privledges of the user that installed the affected package.
