Gerfried Fuchs uploaded new packages for ngircd which fixed the
following security problem:
CVE-2008-0285, Debian Bug #461067
ngIRCd 0.10.x before 0.10.4 and 0.11.0 before 0.11.0-pre2 allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted
IRC PART message, which triggers an invalid dereference.
For the etch-backports distribution the problem has been fixed in
version 0.10.3-2~bpo40+1.
For the lenny and sid distributions the problem has been fixed in
version 0.10.3-2.
If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the packages
manually via "apt-get -t etch-backports install <packagelist>" with the
packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.
[1] <http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instructions>
We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new versions
of installed backports will be installed automatically:
Package: *
Pin: release a=etch-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
