BitchX 1.0c19 IRC Client Backdoored

Posted by michael on Tuesday July 2, 2002 @01:41AM from the what-me-worry dept.

JRAC writes "A recent Bugtraq submission has indicated that the popular IRC client, BitchX, contains a backdoor. So far, only certain 1.0c19 files, downloaded from ftp.bitchx.com are reported to contain the malicious code. The BitchX developers have been notified, so hopefully a fix will be issued soon. Looks like irssi wasn't the only one ;)"
