    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-1744-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde March 18th, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : weechat
    Vulnerability : missing input sanitization
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2009-0661
    Debian Bug : 519940
    BugTraq ID : 34148


    Sebastien Helleu discovered that an error in the handling of color codes
    in the weechat IRC client could cause an out-of-bounds read of an internal color array. This can be used by an attacker to crash user clients
    via a crafted PRIVMSG command.


    The weechat version in the oldstable distribution (etch) is not affected
    by this problem.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.2.6-1+lenny1.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.2.6.1-1.


    We recommend that you upgrade your weechat packages.

    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.
