EFNet ircd Channel Keys Arbitrary Serve Command Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been identified in EFnet versions of the irc daemon (ircd). in the daemon's handling of channel keys.

Properly exploited, a remote attacker can cause the server to send arbitrary strings to any connected server. This can permit the exploiter to perform a number of restricted functions including KILLing (temporarily ejecting) users, create false users and servers, impersonating a channel operator, and entering channels without detection.

Systems prior to 2.8.21 are reported vulnerable.

A patch is available via Web from www.eleves.ens.fr.
