Hi all,

Changelog of bitlbee 1.2.2 to 1.2.3

Version 1.2.3 (released 2008-09-07) hilights:
    * Fixed a security issue similar to the previous account
overwrite/hijack bug.

My guess is that the port hasn't been updated due to the ports-freeze.
Should it be because there's a security fix?

The security issue isn't exploitable on my machine but I upgraded the
port anyway.

cd /usr/ports/distfiles
fetch http://get.bitlbee.org/src/bitlbee-1.2.3.tar.gz
cd /usr/ports/irc/bitlbee
sed -i .bak -e 's/1.2.2/1.2.3/' Makefile
make makesum
make && make deinstall && make reinstall
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/bitlbee restart

Since then running without any issues.

Kind regards,

Spil.
