Debian 3.0: DSA 306-1 Critical Vulnerability in BitchX Remote Exploit

Timo Sirainen discovered several overflow problems in BitchX.. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 306-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Martin Schulze May 19th, 2003 Debian -- Debian security FAQ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : ircii-pana Vulnerability : buffer overflows, integer overflow Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no Timo Sirainen discovered several problems in BitchX, a popular client for Internet Relay Chat (IRC). A malicious server could craft special reply strings, triggering the client to write beyond buffer boundaries or allocate a negative amount of memory. This could lead to a denial of service if the client only crashes, but may also lead to executing of arbitrary code under the user id of the chatting user. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0-0c19-1.1. For the old stable distribution (potato) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0-0c16-2.1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0-0c19-8. We recommend that you upgrade your BitchX package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
