Detail

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.

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.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.89-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libnet-server-perl package.

Id Description
15517 Net::Server Logging Function Format String DoS

Postgrey contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is due to a format string error in syslog/printf functions. By sending a mail with a specially crafted sender address, an attacker can crash the service, resulting in loss of availability for the platform.
