+Description
+-----------
+
+Multiple vulnerabilities have been located in Irssi.

+    sequences, Irssi may access data beyond the end of the
+    string. (CWE-126) Found by Hanno Böck.
+
+    CVE-2017-15228 was assigned to this issue.
+
+(b) While waiting for the channel synchronisation, Irssi may
+    incorrectly fail to remove destroyed channels from the query list,
+    resulting in use after free conditions when updating the state
+    later on. Found by Joseph Bisch. (CWE-416 caused by CWE-672)
+
+    CVE-2017-15227 was assigned to this issue.
+
+(c) Certain incorrectly formatted DCC CTCP messages could cause NULL
+    pointer dereference. Found by Joseph Bisch. This is a separate,
+    but similar issue to CVE-2017-9468. (CWE-690)
+
+    CVE-2017-15721 was assigned to this issue.
+
+(d) Overlong nicks or targets may result in a NULL pointer dereference
+    while splitting the message. Found by Joseph Bisch. (CWE-690)
+
+    CVE-2017-15722 was assigned to this issue.
+
+(e) In certain cases Irssi may fail to verify that a Safe channel ID
+    is long enough, causing reads beyond the end of the string. Found
+    by Joseph Bisch. (CWE-126)
+
+    CVE-2017-15723 was assigned to this issue.
