Advisory
========

Weechat has been updated to fix 2 security issues.

CVE-2020-9759: An issue was discovered in WeeChat before 2.7.1 (0.4.0 to 2.7 are affected). A malformed message 352 (who) can cause a NULL pointer dereference in the callback function, resulting in a crash.

CVE-2020-9760: An issue was discovered in WeeChat before 2.7.1 (0.3.4 to 2.7 are affected). When a new IRC message 005 is received with longer nick prefixes, a buffer overflow and possibly a crash can happen when a new mode is set for a nick.

MGA7-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50
No installation issues.
Ref to bug 26267 for testing.
I could connect to #mageia-qa, and post, but apparently no one there to answer.
So OK AFAICS.
