_______________________________________________________________________

Package : eggdrop
Date : December 8, 2009
Affected: 2008.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

mod/server.mod/servmsg.c in Eggheads Eggdrop and Windrop 1.6.19 and
earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
via a crafted PRIVMSG that causes an empty string to trigger a negative
string length copy. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect
fix for CVE-2007-2807 (CVE-2009-1789).

Update:

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
Corporate products.
