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. Upgrade instructions -------------------- 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
