libpoe-component-irc-perl before v6.32 does not remove carriage returns and line feeds. This can be used to execute arbitrary IRC commands by passing an argument such as some textrQUIT to the privmsg handler, which would cause the client to disconnect from the server.
The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
