-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
________________________________________________________________________
Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: BitchX
Date: December 14th, 2000
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:079
Affected versions: 6.1, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Two bugs exist in the BitchX IRC client. A possible stack overflow
condition exists if a malformed DNS answer is processed by the client,
and the second bug allows this malformed DNS record to be embedded in a
valid DNS packet. Without the second bug, the malformed DNS record
wouldn't be processed "correctly."
________________________________________________________________________
Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package. You can do this with the command:
rpm --checksig package.rpm
You can get the GPG public key of the Linux-Mandrake Security Team at
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS
If you use MandrakeUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG
signature is performed automatically for you.

To upgrade automatically, use <AB> MandrakeUpdate <BB>.
If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one
of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Fvh *.rpm".
You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror sites
listed at:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.
Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory.
For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Linux-Mandrake 7.2, look for it in "updates/7.2/RPMS/". Updated source
RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download
them.
Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to
update.
