NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream irssi package and not the irssi package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The netjoin processing in Irssi 1.x before 1.0.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
