inn: man-in-the-middle attack

Package(s):inn CVE #(s):CVE-2012-3523
Created:October 2, 2012 Updated:October 3, 2012
Description: From the Mandriva advisory:

The STARTTLS implementation in INN's NNTP server for readers, nnrpd, before 2.5.3 does not properly restrict I/O buffering, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert commands into encrypted sessions by sending a cleartext command that is processed after TLS is in place, related to a plaintext command injection attack, a similar issue to CVE-2011-0411 (CVE-2012-3523).
