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:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE xchat.tgz PACKAGE:

Make sure that no users have XChat running, then issue this command:

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