    Package : weechat
    CVE ID : CVE-2017-8073
    Debian Bug : 861121

    It was discovered that weechat, a fast and light chat client, is prone
    to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the IRC plugin, allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service by sending a specially crafted
    filename via DCC.

    For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.0.1-1+deb8u1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.7-3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your weechat packages.
