CGI:IRC is a popular serverside based solution to include IRC chat on websites. A vulnerability has been found in versions prior to 0.5.8.

The client.c code contained an error in the way it is handling cookies. On receiving a cookie value a buffer overflow can compromise the system and DoS the server.

More information can be found in this Secunia Advisory.
