silc: several vulnerabilities

An incorrect format string in sscanf() used in the ASN1 encoder to scan an OID value could overwrite a neighbouring variable on the stack as the destination data type is smaller than the source type on 64-bit. On 64-bit architectures this could result in unexpected application behaviour or even code execution in some cases (CVE-2008-7159).

Various format string vulnerabilities when handling parsed SILC messages allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the victim running the SILC client via crafted nick names or channel names containing format strings (CVE-2009-3051).

An incorrect format string in a sscanf() call used in the HTTP server component of silcd could result in overwriting a neighbouring variable on the stack as the destination data type is smaller than the source type on 64-bit. An attacker could exploit this by using crafted Content-Length header values resulting in unexpected application behaviour or even code execution in some cases (CVE-2008-7160).
