Package : eggdrop
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-2807
Debian Bug : 427157

It was discovered that eggdrop, an advanced IRC robot, was vulnerable
to a buffer overflow which could result in a remote user executing
arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
1.6.18-1etch1.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.6.17-3sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.6.18-1.1

We recommend that you upgrade your eggdrop package.
