[Backports-security-announce] Security Update for linuxdcpp

Gerfried Fuchs uploaded new packages for linuxdcpp which fixed the
following security problems:

CVE-2008-2953, Debian Bug #488630

Linux DC++ (linuxdcpp) before 0.707 allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (crash) via "partial file list requests" that
trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

CVE-2008-2954, Debian Bug #488630

cient/NmdcHub.cpp in Linux DC++ (linuxdcpp) before 0.707 allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an empty private
message, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.

For the etch-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.2-1~bpo40+1.

For the lenny and sid distributions the problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.1-2.
