Notes

[jessie] - znc <ignored> (Minor issue, workaround is to disable modpython)
https://github.com/znc/znc/commit/64613bc8b6b4adf1e32231f9844d99cd512b8973
Every version between 0.096 and 1.7.2 (incl) is vulnerable to the issue,
but earlier versions could not be fixed without a major rewrite. A workaround
though is to disable modpython.
