The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200701-26 (KSirc: Denial of Service vulnerability)

KSirc fails to check the size of an incoming PRIVMSG string sent from     an IRC server during the connection process.

Impact :

A malicious IRC server could send a long PRIVMSG string to the KSirc     client causing an assertion failure and the dereferencing of a null     pointer, resulting in a crash.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
