    Description:
      Timo Sirainen audited ircII based clients [1] and found some buffer
      overflow vulnerabilities in ircii-20020912 [2]. According to his
      report these problems were fixed in ircii-20030313. We have backported
      the security relevant pieces of the more recent ircii-20030315 vendor
      changes into releases used by OpenPKG.
    
      Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q
      ircii". If you have the "ircii" package installed and its version is
      affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it
      (see Solution). [3][4]
    
    Solution:
      Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
      [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
      location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
      from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
      binary RPM [4]. For the current release OpenPKG 1.2, perform the
      following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
      other releases adjust accordingly).
    
      $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
      ftp> bin
      ftp> cd release/1.2/UPD
      ftp> get ircii-20021103-1.2.1.src.rpm
      ftp> bye
      $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig ircii-20021103-1.2.1.src.rpm
      $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild ircii-20021103-1.2.1.src.rpm
      $ su -
      # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/ircii-20021103-1.2.1.*.rpm
