You really need an ircII expert to tell you what these mean. I read the page you provided by your link to IRC Security Issues and have a general idea what they are getting at, but I can only generalize.

Basically, these "rules" allow a remote user to send you a message that will give them elevated access to your system. So if I send you the message "/notice somthing-or-other BACKDOOR give-me-control-of-your-system ..." (I don't know what the something-or-other or give-me-control strings would have to be) then I could potentially gain control of your system. That's about as far as I got without further research into a subject I don't really have much interest in. I hope this helps you understand better what is going on here.
