Package : znc
Vulnerability : denial of service
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2010-2448

It was discovered that znc, an IRC bouncer, is vulnerable to denial
of service attacks via a NULL pointer dereference when traffic
statistics are requested while there is an unauthenticated connection.
