+ <description>
+ <p>A vulnerability in InspIRCd allows DNS compression features to control
+ the number of overflowed bytes sent to the heap-based buffer "res[]" in
+ dns.cpp.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>A remote attacker could send specially crafted DNS responses, possibly
+ resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
+ process or a Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All InspIRCd users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-irc/inspircd-2.0.5-r1"
