- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 291-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze April 22nd, 2003 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : ircii Vulnerability : buffer overflows Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no Timo Sirainen discovered several problems in ircII, a popular client for Internet Relay Chat (IRC). A malicious server could craft special reply strings, triggering the client to write beyond buffer boundaries. 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 20020322-1.1. For the old stable distribution (potato) these problems have been fixed in version 4.4M-1.1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 20030315-1. We recommend that you upgrade your ircII 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.

When a temporary file is to be used it is created insecurely, allowing an attacker to overwrite arbitrary under the user id of the person executing run-mailcap, most probably root. Additionally the program did not properly escape shell escape characters when executing a command. This is unlikely to be exploitable, though. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 3.18-1.1. For the old stable distribution (potato) these problems have been fixed in version 3.9-1.1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 3.22-1. We recommend that you upgrade your mime-support packages.
