Debian Security Advisory DSA 244-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
January 27th, 2003 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : noffle
Vulnerability : buffer overflows
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CAN-2003-0037
Dan Jacobson noticed a problem in noffle, an offline news server, that
leads to a segmentation fault. It is not yet clear whether this
problem is exploitable. However, if it is, a remote attacker could
trigger arbitrary code execution under the user that calls noffle,
probably news.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.0.1-1.1.
The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain a noffle
package.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.2-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your noffle package.
