Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'inspircd' package(s) announced via the DSA-3226-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Adam discovered several problems in inspircd, an IRC daemon:

An incomplete patch for CVE-2012-1836 failed to adequately resolve the problem where maliciously crafted DNS requests could lead to remote code execution through a heap-based buffer overflow.

The incorrect processing of specific DNS packets could trigger an infinite loop, thus resulting in a denial of service.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.5-1+deb7u1.

For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie) and unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.0.16-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your inspircd packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'inspircd' package(s) on Debian 7.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
7.5
