Debian DSA-1122-1 : libnet-server-perl - format string

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22664

Synopsis

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

Description

Peter Bieringer discovered that the 'log' function in the Net::Server Perl module, an extensible, general perl server engine, is not safe against format string exploits.

Solution

Upgrade the libnet-server-perl package.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain this package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 0.87-3sarge1.
