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. 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
