NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream irssi package and not the irssi package as distributed by Ubuntu.

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.
