Subject: [SECURITY] New version of canna released.
Debian Security Advisory security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman July 2, 2000
Package : canna Problem type : remote exploit Debian-specific: no
The canna package as distributed in Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 can be
remotely exploited to gain access. This could be done by
overflowing a buffer by sending a SR_INIT command with a very long
usernamd or groupname.
This has been fixed in version 3.5b2-24slink1, and recommend
that you upgrade your canna package immediately.
