Comment 1 Lubomir Kundrak 2008-01-16 06:04:23 UTC 
Not yet in Fedora. Here is the review request: bug #234926
Comment 3 Andreas Thienemann 2008-10-23 09:59:53 UTC 
FYI: This bug should be closed for good, the vulnerable version was never available in fedora AFAIK.
Comment 4 Tomas Hoger 2008-10-24 18:09:49 UTC 
Agree, this can be closed.  I haven't closed it before as it wasn't clear to me what's the ngircd's review request.  It is closed now, but ngircd only seems to be shipped in EPEL5 and may appear in F10.
Comment 5 Red Hat Bugzilla 2009-10-23 19:05:18 UTC 
Reporter changed to security-response-team by request of Jay Turner.
