Synopsis
========

A vulnerability has been found in Atheme which may lead to Denial of
Service or a bypass of security restrictions.

Background
==========

Atheme is a portable and secure set of open-source and modular IRC
services. CertFP is certificate fingerprinting used to authenticate
users to nicknames.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-irc/atheme-services      < 6.0.10                  >= 6.0.10

Description
===========

The myuser_delete() function in account.c does not properly remove
CertFP entries when deleting user accounts.

Impact
======

A remote authenticated attacker may be able to cause a Denial of
Service condition or gain access to an Atheme IRC Services user
account.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Atheme users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-irc/atheme-services-6.0.10"
