    A flaw exists in the input parsing of BNC where part of the
    sbuf_getmsg() function handles the backspace character incorrectly.

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote user could issue commands using fake authentication
    credentials and possibly gain access to scripts running on the client
    side.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All BNC users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync
    
    # emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=net-irc/bnc-2.8.9&quot;
    # emerge &quot;&gt;=net-irc/bnc-2.8.9&quot;</code>
