Description
A buffer overflow happens when a new IRC message 005 is received with longer nick prefixes.
Note: a "normal" IRC server should not send again a message 005 with new nick prefixes, so the problem should be limited to malicious IRC servers.
Mitigation
There is no known mitigation.
The upgrade to the latest stable version is highly recommended.

Description
Date/time conversion specifiers are expanded after replacing buffer local variables in name of log files. In some cases, this can lead to an error in function strftime and a crash caused by the use of an uninitialized buffer.
Mitigation
You can unload the logger plugin, thus stopping recording of all buffers: /plugin unload logger.
