Debian DSA-713-1 : junkbuster - several vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 18115

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several bugs have been found in junkbuster, a HTTP proxy and filter.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities :

 - CAN-2005-1108 James Ranson discovered that an attacker can modify the referrer setting with a carefully crafted URL by accidentally overwriting a global variable.

 - CAN-2005-1109

 Tavis Ormandy from the Gentoo Security Team discovered several heap corruptions due to inconsistent use of an internal function that can crash the daemon or possibly lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the junkbuster package.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.2-0.2woody1.
