Secure testing team - Mar 2010 - Bug#572563: CVE-2009-4652: Denial of service through MOTD

Package: ngircd
Severity: grave
Tags: security

Please see http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-4652
for patches.

Since this package is apparently both unmaintained, unused and lagging
behind the current upstream, the cleanest solution might be a removal
from the archive.

Cheers,
         Moritz
