Package: rhapsody
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

Rhapsody has format string and buffer overflow vulnerabilities
in almost every IRC command it supports:
http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/archive/1/463092/100/0/threaded

Given that it includes so many "Secure programming 101" errors,
that it only has six users in popcon, was never part of a stable
release and is a very early 0.2x version the correct fix appears to
be to remove it from Etch and let it mature for Lenny. It's not
that Debian is short of IRC clients.

Cheers,
        Moritz
