Product     : Fedora 12
Version     : 7.2.3
Release     : 11.fc12
URL         : http://www.ircd-hybrid.org/
Summary     : Internet Relay Chat Server
Description :
Ircd-hybrid is an advanced IRC server which is most commonly used on the
EFNet IRC network.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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]
