Description
The do_set_password function in modules/chanserv/set.c in IRC Services before 5.0.60 preserves channel founder privileges across a channel password change (ChanServ SET PASSWORD), which allows remote authenticated users to obtain the new password through automated e-mail, or perform privileged actions without knowing the new password.
