For most client applications that holds true, but for an IRC client often left unattended connected to some network, a 
remote access exploit wouldn't be too farfetched, and I'd say bugs in this particular client application, as well as 
any other client application where faults could quite easily lead to compromise of a box (e.g. browsers, email clients) 
fits this list?
