Subject: [slackware-security]: xchat input validation bug fixed


An input validation bug was found to affect Slackware Linux 7.0, 7.1, and
-current. The problem is described in detail at this site:

http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1601

Users of Slackware 7.0, 7.1, and -current are urged to upgraded to the
xchat.tgz package available in the Slackware -current branch.


========================================
xchat 1.5.7 AVAILABLE - (gtk1/xchat.tgz)
========================================

The input validation bug has been fixed in this release of XChat. The
new
xchat.tgz package is available from:


ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-current/slakware/gtk/xchat.t
gz

For verification purposes, we provide the following checksums:

16-bit "sum" checksum:
2394041667 1288299 gtk1/xchat.tgz

128-bit MD5 message digest:
b388d7eb7914a6d456f49f0b0f62fcb8 gtk1/xchat.tgz


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE xchat.tgz PACKAGE:
---------------------------------------------------
Make sure that no users have XChat running, then issue this command:

# upgradepkg xchat.tgz


Remember, it's also a good idea to backup configuration files before
upgrading packages.
