A buffer overflow bug allowing to crash the server has been discovered. It is exploitable only by local users and affects all versions of IRCnet IRCD from 2.10 series, up to 2.10.3p3. New release has been made, irc2.10.3p4, and is available from ftp://ftp.irc.org/irc/server/irc2.10.3p4.tgz Alternatively, one may apply the fix only: http://akson.sgh.waw.pl/~chopin/ircd/patches/m_join.diff It is advised to upgrade ASAP, as there are already exploits in the wild. p. -- Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master. -- Commissioner Pravin Lal http://nerdquiz.sgh.waw.pl/ -- polska wersja quizu dla nerdów ;)
