[rumor] new mIRC dcc exploit (6.14) ? ** False report **

[Syzop]

There seem to be some rumors about this, like on http://irc-junkie.org/ and http://www.quakenet.org/
If anyone has some additional technical info that would be helpful so we can add a spamfiler rule (and I could improve AntiDCCExploit)

The dalnet exploits team also warns about it: http://kline.dal.net/exploits/

but....

all the mIRC people say it's not true/bogus...
Like see:

And, #mirc on efnet:
[22:34:11] * Topic is 'v6.14 @ http://mirc.stealth.net - NO new exploit

ah well, boring :p

Just to let everyone know, this has now been confirmed to NOT be a real exploit. As it turned out, the problem actually had nothing to do with mIRC, so there is nothing to be alarmed about. If you notice, sites that originally claimed it was proven have begun to retract those claims.
