It was discovered that irssi did not properly check the length of strings when processing WALLOPS messages. If a user connected to an IRC network where an attacker had IRC operator privileges, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
