---------------
kvirc (4:4.0.0~svn3900+rc2-1ubuntu0.2) lucid-security; urgency=low

  * SECURITY UPDATE: The IRC Protocol component in KVIrc 3.x and 4.x before
    r4693 does not properly handle \ (backslash) characters, which allows
    remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary CTCP commands via vectors
    involving \r and \40 sequences, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2451
    and CVE-2010-2452.
    - 33_upstream_security_#858.patch
      - Patch based on upstream SVN revision 4693.
    - CVE-2010-2785:
      - http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2010-2785
