Package        : micq
Vulnerability  : remote buffer overflow
Debian-specific: no

PkC has reported that there is a buffer overflow in sprintf() in
micq versions 0.4.6, that allows to a remote attacker able to sniff
packets to the ICQ server to execute arbitrary code on the victim
system.

We recommend you upgrade your micq package immediately.
