Debian DSA-412-1 : nd - buffer overflows

high Nessus Plugin ID 15249

Synopsis

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

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in nd, a command-line WebDAV interface, whereby long strings received from the remote server could overflow fixed-length buffers. This vulnerability could be exploited by a remote attacker in control of a malicious WebDAV server to execute arbitrary code if the server was accessed by a vulnerable version of nd.

Solution

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.5.0-1woody1.

We recommend that you update your nd package.
