Discussion

Unreal IRCD Multiple Vulnerabilities

Unreal ircd is prone to multiple vulnerabilities that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer. If successful, the attacker may gain unauthorized access to the computer. The application is reportedly affected by a buffer overflow, a format string issue, and a command execution vulnerability.

A lack of details in the report does not allow for further information. This issue will be updated as more information becomes available.

It is reported that the process does not drop privileges properly, which could allow the attacker to gain super user access to a vulnerable computer.

Unreal ircd version 3.2.1 is reported prone to these issues. It is possible that other version are affected as well.

Update: Upon further analysis, it was discovered that most of these issues do not pose a security threat. One issue dealing with chroot is deemed to be a weakness and is assigned BID 10814 (Unreal IRCD CHRoot Local Privilege Escalation Weakness). This BID is being retired.
