Description

Irssi 1.3.x and 1.4.x before 1.4.4 has a use-after-free because of use of a stale special collector reference. This occurs when printing of a non-formatted line is concurrent with printing of a formatted line.

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
