BitchX (epic) =<1.1-final | do_hook() Boundary Check Error Remote DoS

A remote denial of service vulnerability exists in BitchX (epic) version 1.1-final and earlier due to a boundary check error in the do_hook() function. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted packet with a large value for the 'which' parameter to the server, resulting in a crash. This vulnerability can be triggered remotely.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of BitchX (epic).
