-> Just found this on bugtraq ... People who haven't patched this should do
-> so.
-> 
-> Note that this is not a bug in the standard ircd version, but in the
-> +topic patch. I have no idea what versions of it are vulnerable.

this thing was already fixed weeks (or months?) ago...

[deeted]
-> It was found some time ago that few of IRCnet's ircd's 
-> with +topic module can be rebooted by simply 
-> 
-> doing /quote TOPIC !etC (or-whatever !channel)
-> 
-> This has been already mass-abused by 'EvIL MiRkhAx0rZ' 
-> 
-> and servers have been patched now... so time for it to go public since there is virtually no more threat left
