Title:	Gentoo Security Advisory GLSA 200312-06 (xchat)
Summary:	The remote host is missing updates announced in;advisory GLSA 200312-06.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory GLSA 200312-06. Vulnerability Insight: A bug in XChat could allow malformed dcc send requests to cause a denial of service. Solution: For Gentoo users, xchat-2.0.6 was marked ~ arch (unstable) for most architectures. Since it was never marked as stable in the portage tree, only xchat users who have explicitly added the unstable keyword to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS are affected. Users may updated affected machines to the patched version of xchat using the following commands: # emerge sync # emerge -pv '>=net-irc/xchat-2.0.6-r1' # emerge '>=net-irc/xchat-2.0.6-r1' # emerge clean This assumes that users are running with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS enabled for their architecture. CVSS Score: 5.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N
