Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Resource management errors (CVE-ID: CVE-2001-1056)

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

IRC DCC helper in the ip_masq_irc IP masquerading module 2.2 allows remote attackers to bypass intended firewall restrictions by causing the target system to send a 'DCC SEND' request to a malicious server which listens on port 6667, which may cause the module to believe that the traffic is a valid request and allow the connection to the port specified in the DCC SEND request.
