CWE-416  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 irssi.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream irssi package and not the irssi package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Irssi before 1.0.5, while waiting for the channel synchronisation, may incorrectly fail to remove destroyed channels from the query list, resulting in use-after-free conditions when updating the state later on.
