new vulnerability



Hi,

a new problem was found in the IRC server which potentially
affects all existing versions which are configured to use
iauth.  Exploiting this problem allow a user to generate
network splits.

Fortunately, there is a quick fix which consists of:
	a) not running iauth
or
	b) disabling the rfc931 module

A patch will be released early next week, to allow some time
for admins to install the workaround described above.

Christophe
