Detail
| Ulf Härnhammar from the Debian Security Audit Project discovered a format string vulnerability in bidwatcher, a tool for watching and bidding on eBay auctions. This problem can be triggered remotely by a web server of eBay, or someone pretending to be eBay, sending certain data back. As of version 1.3.17 the program uses cURL and is not vulnerable anymore. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.3-1woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your bidwatcher package. |
