Hi

(I know you are perfectly awaere of it, just to have a reference in the
BTS)

Multiple vulnerabilities have beeen fixed in irssi. Details in

http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/01/05/2 (no CVEs yet
assigned),
https://irssi.org/security/irssi_sa_2017_01.txt
https://github.com/irssi/irssi/commit/6c6c42e3d1b49d90aacc0b67f8540471cae02a1d

As previously mentioned by Moritz, those though do not warrant a DSA,
but might be fixed via an upcoming point release (Prefeably the next
one if possible, but timeframe is now tight).

Regards,
Salvatore
