Debian Security Advisory DSA-3226-1 security@debian.org

Package : inspircd
Debian Bug : 780880
adam@anope.org 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.
