Sebastien Helleu discovered that an error in the handling of color codes in the weechat IRC client could cause an out-of-bounds read of an internal color array. This can be used by an attacker to crash user clients via a crafted PRIVMSG command.
The weechat version in the oldstable distribution (etch) is not affected by this problem.
