-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2183-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Raphael Geissert March 04, 2011 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : nbd Vulnerability : buffer overflow Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2011-0530 It was discovered a regression of a buffer overflow (CVE-2005-3534) in nbd, the Network Block Device server, that could allow arbitrary code execution on the NBD server via a large request. For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.9.11-3lenny1. The stable distribution (squeeze), the testing distribution (wheezy), and the unstable distribution (sid) are not affected. This problem was fixed prior the release of squeeze in version 1:2.9.16-8. We recommend that you upgrade your nbd packages.
