Synopsis

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

Description

It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2013-4422 in quassel, a distributed IRC client, was incomplete. This could allow remote attackers to inject SQL queries after a database reconnection (e.g.
when the backend PostgreSQL server is restarted).

Solution

Upgrade the quassel packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1:0.10.0-2.3+deb8u1.
