Gerfried Fuchs uploaded new packages for linuxdcpp which fixed the
following security problems:
CVE-2008-2953, Debian Bug #488630
Linux DC++ (linuxdcpp) before 0.707 allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (crash) via "partial file list requests" that
trigger a NULL pointer dereference.
CVE-2008-2954, Debian Bug #488630
cient/NmdcHub.cpp in Linux DC++ (linuxdcpp) before 0.707 allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an empty private
message, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
For the etch-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.2-1~bpo40+1.
For the lenny and sid distributions the problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.1-2.
If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the packages
manually via "apt-get -t etch-backports install <packagelist>" with the
packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.

We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new versions
of installed backports will be installed automatically:
Package: *
Pin: release a=etch-backports
Pin-Priority: 200
