Package : barnowl
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CVE-2010-0793
Debian Bug : 574418

It has been discovered that barnowl, a curses-based tty Jabber, IRC, AIM
and Zephyr client, is prone to a buffer overflow via its "CC:" handling,
which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.0.1-4+lenny1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.1-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your barnowl packages.
