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.

Irssi 1.3.x and 1.4.x before 1.4.4 has a use-after-free because of use of a stale special collector reference. This occurs when printing of a non-formatted line is concurrent with printing of a formatted line.
