Description

New EPIC4 packages are available to fix security problems found by Timo Sirainen. EPIC4 is an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client. Under certain circumstances, a malicious IRC server could cause EPIC4 to crash, or possibly to run arbitrary code as the user running EPIC4. All sites running EPIC4 are advised to upgrade.
