SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    espernet irc services

PROBLEM

    McClain  Looney  posted  following.   Espernet  irc services below
    version 3.3.5 are vulnerable to  a bug in the add/remove  code for
    chanserv which  causes a  segmentation fault  in the  server.  The
    bug is  not widely  known or  exploited, but  innocent users  will
    likely crash any services daemon repeatedly, and at random,  (hey,
    if this  command didn't  work, lets  try it  again, and again, and
    again...etc).  The bug manifests itself after an ordered series of
    add/remove commands to chanserv (author didn't want get into  what
    they are, but it's definitely reproducible).

SOLUTION

    The latest version (3.3.6)of espernet services is at:
