[Yves-Alexis Perez]

Source: irssi
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

Hi,

irssi 1.0.5 has been released, fixing multiple vulnerabilities

(a) When installing themes with unterminated colour formatting
    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-2017-15723 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-2017-15722 was assigned to this issue.

Can you prepare updates for sid, stretch and jessie (please coordinate with security team at team at security.debian.org for the latter two)? Please add CVE numbers to the changelog so we can track them easily.
