Package: sbnc Version: 1.2-26 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I was doing some portscans on my home network, when I noticed that my irc connections die after i portscan my sbnc host. The connections re-establish after a while, but this issue could be very annoying if someone else found out about the bug and decided to harass me (or anyone using sbnc).
The nmap command in question: nmap -A -T4 -v <sbnc hostname> After some troubleshooting, and asking around on #sbnc on quakenet, it turns out that this is an old bug, which can be worked around by starting sbnc with parameter "--lpc" OR by installing a newer version. The bug affects only sbnc servers that listen via ssl. I've "fixed" this issue on my box by changing the init file, and adding "-- --lpc" to the "start-stop-daemon" lines. (start/restart) The --lpc parameter disables starting child processes. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-486 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages sbnc depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.49 ii libc-ares2 1.9.1-3 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libltdl7 2.4.2-1.1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1e-2 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 ii pwgen 2.06-1+b2 Versions of packages sbnc recommends: ii oidentd 2.0.8-5 ii sbnc-tcl 1.2-26 Versions of packages sbnc suggests: pn sbnc-mysql <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/sbnc changed [not included] /etc/init.d/sbnc changed [not included] -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
