Severity	+ Medium
Remote	+ Remote
Type	+ Denial of service
Description	+ In Irssi before 1.0.3, when receiving certain incorrectly quoted DCC files, it tries to find the terminating quote one byte before the allocated memory. Thus, remote attackers might be able to cause a crash.
References	+ https://irssi.org/security/irssi_sa_2017_06.txt + http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/06/06/4
Notes	+ May result in denial of service (remote crash), but in practice this seems to be very unlikely unless address sanitizer is enabled.
