Mandrake alert: xchat update
In versions of the xchat IRC client prior to version 1.8.9, xchat does not filter the response from an IRC server when a /dns query is executed. xchat resolves hostnames by passing the configured resolver and hostname to a shell, so an IRC server may return a malicious response formatted so that arbitrary commands are executed with the privilege of the user running xchat.

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of
the downloaded package. You can do this with the command:
