Detail

It was discovered that aria2, a high speed download utility, is prone to a buffer overflow in the DHT routing code, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 0.14.0-1+lenny1. Binaries for powerpc, arm, ia64 and hppa will be provided once they are available.

The oldstable distribution (etch) is not affected by this problem.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.0-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your aria2 packages.

Id Description
58708 aria2 DHTRoutingTableDeserializer.cc deserialize() Function DHT Routing Table...

A remote overflow exists in aria2. aria2 fails to check a boundary error in the deserialize() function in DHTRoutingTableDeserializer.cc resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
