Detail

Stefan Esser discovered a problem in neon, an HTTP and WebDAV client library. User input is copied into variables not large enough for all cases. This can lead to an overflow of a static heap variable.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.19.3-2woody5.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.23.9.dfsg-2 and neon_0.24.6.dfsg-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libneon* packages.

Id Description
6302 cadaver libneon Date Parsing Overflow

A remote overflow exists in cadaver. The issue is triggered due to improper bounds checking of the neon ne_rfc1036_parse library, resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution, resulting in a loss of integrity.
