- ------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : ekg
Vulnerability  : missing input sanitising
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2008-4776

It was discovered that ekg, a console Gadu Gadu client performs
insufficient input sanitising in the code to parse contact descriptions,
which may result in denial of service.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1:1.7~rc2-1etch2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) and the upcoming stable distribution
(lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.8~rc1-2 of libgadu. 

We recommend that you upgrade your ekg package.
