    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-2049-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Steffen Joeris
    May 23, 2010 http://www.debian.org/security/faq

    Package : barnowl
    Vulnerability : buffer overflow
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id : CVE-2010-0793
    Debian Bug : 574418

    It has been discovered that barnowl, a curses-based tty Jabber, IRC, AIM
    and Zephyr client, is prone to a buffer overflow via its "CC:" handling,
    which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.


    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.0.1-4+lenny1.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
    (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.1-1.


    We recommend that you upgrade your barnowl packages.


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

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

    sources.list as given below:
