According to a recent update from Debians security advisory board ,"[BitchX/ircii has a vulnerability that could allow]a malicious server to craft special reply strings, triggering the client to write beyond buffer boundaries or allocate a negative amount of memory. This could lead to a denial of service if the client only crashes, but may also lead to executing of arbitrary code under the user id of the chatting user."
