Update Information:

mod/server.mod/servmsg.c in Eggheads Eggdrop and Windrop 1.6.19 and earlier
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted
PRIVMSG that causes an empty string to trigger a negative string length copy.
NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2007-2807. The
current remote denial of service is tracked as CVE-2009-1789.
