The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200501-34 (Konversation: Various vulnerabilities)

Wouter Coekaerts has discovered three vulnerabilities within     Konversation:
The Server::parseWildcards function, which     is used by the 'Quick Buttons', does not properly handle variable     expansion (CAN-2005-0129).
Perl scripts included with     Konversation do not properly escape shell metacharacters     (CAN-2005-0130).
The 'Nick' and 'Password' fields in the Quick     Connect dialog can be easily confused (CAN-2005-0131).

Impact :

A malicious server could create specially crafted channels, which     would exploit certain flaws in Konversation, potentially leading to the     execution of shell commands. A user could also unintentionally input     their password into the 'Nick' field in the Quick Connect dialog,     exposing his password to IRC users, and log files.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
