[Backports-security-announce] Security update for znc



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Patrick Matthäi uploaded new packages for znc which fixed the
following security problems:

TEMP-0537977-000291, Debian BTS #537977

It was discovered that znc, an IRC proxy, did not properly process
certain DCC requests, allowing attackers to upload arbitrary files.


For the etch-backports distribution the problem has been fixed in
version 0.074-1~bpo40+1.

For the lenny-backports distribution the problem has been fixed in
version 0.074-1~bpo50+1.

For the lenny and sid distribution the problem has been fixed in
version 0.074-1.


Upgrade instructions
- - --------------------

If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the packages
manually via "apt-get -t etch-backports install znc" 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:

Etch:

Package: *
Pin: release a=etch-backports
Pin-Priority: 200

Lenny:

Package: *
Pin: release a=lenny-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
