"zen-parse discovered a problem in versions 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 of xchat
that could allow a malicious user to send commands to the IRC server
they are on which would take advantage of the CTCP PING reply handler
in xchat. This could be used for denial of service, channel takeovers,
and other similar attacks. The problem exists in 1.6 and 1.8 versions,
however it is controlled by the 'percascii' variable which defaults to
0. It 'percascii' is set to 1, the problem is exploitable. This
vulnerability has been fixed upstream in version 1.8.7."
