More information:

It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2013-4422 in quassel, a distributed IRC client, was incomplete. This could allow remote attackers to inject SQL queries after a database reconnection (e.g. when the backend PostgreSQL server is restarted).

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1:0.10.0-2.3+deb8u1.

For the testing distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 1:0.10.0-2.4.

We recommend that you upgrade your quassel packages.
