Name : ircd-ratbox
Product : Fedora 12
Version : 2.2.8
Release : 7.fc12
URL : http://www.ircd-ratbox.org/
Summary : Ircd-ratbox is an advanced, stable and fast ircd
Description :
ircd-ratbox is an advanced, stable, fast ircd. It is an evolution where
ircd-hybrid left off around version 7-rc1. It supports the TS3 and TS5
protocols, and is used on EFnet and other IRC networks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Two vulnerabilities were reported in ircd-hybrid, ircd-ratbox, and oftc-hybrid.
The first is an integer overflow that can lead to a denial of service or,
possibly, the execution of arbitrary code on the ircd server (CVE-2009-4016
(patch [1])), the second is a NULL pointer dereference that can lead to a
denial of service of the ircd server (CVE-2010-0300 (patch [2])). This has
been corrected in upstream ircd-ratbox 2.2.9 [3]. CVE-2010-0300 may be ircd-
ratbox specific, however CVE-2009-4016 affects both ircd servers. [1]
