Debian: DSA-3226-1: inspircd security update
Summary
- 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.
