Detail
| A vulnerability was discovered in libnids, a library used to analyze IP network traffic, whereby a carefully crafted TCP datagram could cause memory corruption and potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user executing a program which uses libnids (such as dsniff). For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.16-3woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you update your libnids package. |

| 2716 | Libnids TCP Reassembly Module Overflow Libnids contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. The issue is due to an unchecked buffer in the TCP reassembly module. If an attacker sends a specially crafted packet, they may be able to overflow the buffer and execute arbitrary privileges as root. |
