Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Two security issues have been discovered in the DCC protocol support code of kvirc, a KDE-based next generation IRC client, which allow the overwriting of local files through directory traversal and the execution of arbitrary code through a format string attack.
