You need JavaScript enabled to view it. discovered several problems in inspircd, an IRC daemon: - an incomplete patch for CVE-2012-1836 failed to adequately resolve the problem where maliciously crafted DNS requests could lead to remote code execution through a heap-based buffer overflow. - the incorrect processing of specific DNS packets could trigger an infinite loop, thus resulting in a denial of service. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.5-1+deb7u1. For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie) and unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.16-1. We recommend that you upgrade your inspircd packages.
