1. Description:

Vendor's Description:

"An Open Source Linux/Unix version of the hub software for Direct
Connect."

2. The bug:
------------

The program doesn't correctly manage the $RedirectAll command.
In fact it will have a buffer overflow, letting an attacker to execute
arbitrary code on the victim system.

NOTE: To exploit the bug the attacker needs to have admin privilege on
the victim hub.

No fix.
The vendor has not not replied to my mails.

In the meantime give admin access only to trusted people.

bug:
