#use wml::debian::translation-check translation="1.1" maintainer="" #pddp arteek buffer overflow

A buffer overflow has been discovered in the Socks-5 proxy code of XChat, an IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the users' machine.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.8.9-0woody3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.8-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xchat and related packages.
