| Title: | DSA-1744-1 weechat -- missing input sanitisation | ||
| Description: | Sebastien Helleu discovered that an error in the handling of color codes in the weechat IRC client could cause an out-of-bounds read of an internal color array.

For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.6-1+lenny1. For the testing distribution, this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.6.1-1. We recommend that you upgrade your weechat packages. | ||
