The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'inspircd' package(s) announced via the DLA-384-1 advisory. It was discovered that InspIRCd did not validate the names in DNS responses before using them in inter-server communication. A remote attacker controlling the reverse DNS server for an IRC client could use this for denial of service or possibly for privilege escalation on the IRC network
