cache.c in ircd-ratbox before 2.2.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via a HELP command.
A Denial of Service vulnerability exists in ircd-ratbox 3.0.9 in the MONITOR Command Handler.
Ratbox IRC Daemon (aka ircd-ratbox) 2.2.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) by making many requests from a single client.
Non-registered IRC users using (1) ircd-hybrid 7.0.1 and earlier, (2) ircd-ratbox 1.5.1 and earlier, or (3) ircd-ratbox 2.0rc6 and earlier do not have a rate-limit imposed, which could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service by repeatedly making requests, which are slowly dequeued.
