    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1664-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff November 10, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb

    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
