Package        : epic4 
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow 
Problem-Type   : remote 
Debian-specific: no 
CVE Id         : CAN-2003-0328 
 
Jeremy Nelson discovered a remotely exploitable buffer overflow in 
EPIC4, a popular client for Internet Relay Chat (IRC).  A malicious 
server could craft a reply which triggers the client to allocate a 
negative amount of memory.  This could lead to a denial of service if 
the client only crashes, but may also lead to executing of arbitrary 
code under the user id of the chatting user. 
 
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in 
version 1.1.2.20020219-2.2. 
 
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in 
version 1.1.11.20030409-2. 
 
We recommend that you upgrade your epic4 package.
