Timo Sirainen discovered several problems in BitchX, a popular client for Internet Relay Chat (IRC). A malicious server could craft special reply strings, triggering the client to write beyond buffer boundaries or allocate a negative amount of memory, leading to a denial of service or executing arbitrary code
