Debian 5.0 DSA-2069-1 Medium: ZNC Denial Of Service Issue

It was discovered that znc, an IRC bouncer, is vulnerable to denial
of service attacks via a NULL pointer dereference when traffic
statistics are requested while there is an unauthenticated connection.

For the stable distribution (lenny), the problem has been fixed in
version 0.058-2+lenny4.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid),
the problem has been fixed in version 0.090-2.


We recommend that you upgrade your znc packages.
