  34 <PRE>     Services 4.5.39 has been released, and can be downloaded from:
  35
  36 <A HREF="ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/ircservices-4.5.39.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/ircservices-4.5.39.tar.gz</A>
  37 <A HREF="ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/ircservices-4.5.39.diff.gz">ftp://ftp.esper.net/ircservices/ircservices-4.5.39.diff.gz</A>
  38
  39 ftp.ircservices.za.net and the mirrors should have it shortly.

  41      This release fixes a minor security issue with MemoServ, which could
  42 allow a user to receive new-memo messages for another user without needing
  43 to identify or be on a nickname access list; in particular, if the other
  44 user has two or more nicks linked together, then a malicious user could use
  45 one of the nicks and receive notices from MemoServ when memos were sent to
  46 the other user (the real nickname owner), because MemoServ failed to check
  47 that the user was recognized (on the access list) or identified before
  48 sending the notice.  While such malicious users could not actually read the
  49 memos, they could find out who was sending them, which could be considered
  50 an invasion of privacy; therefore, I recommend upgrading at your earliest
  51 convenience.
  52
  53      And yes, work on Services 5.0 is progressing.  I should have a beta
  54 out any day now, if people would just stop finding new bugs... ;)
