Package : bitlbee
CVE ID : CVE-2016-10188 CVE-2016-10189
It was discovered that bitlbee, an IRC to other chat networks gateway,
contained issues that allowed a remote attacker to cause a denial of
service (via application crash), or potentially execute arbitrary
commands.
For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.2.2-2+deb8u1.
For the upcoming stable (stretch) and unstable (sid) distributions,
these problems have been fixed in version 3.5-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your bitlbee packages.
