Debian DSA-314-1 : atftp - buffer overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 15151

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Rick Patel discovered that atftpd is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when a long filename is sent to the server. An attacker could exploit this bug remotely to execute arbitrary code on the server.

Solution

For the stable distribution (woody), this problem has been fixed in version 0.6.1.1.0woody1.

The old stable distribution (potato) does not contain an atftp package.

We recommend that you update your atftp package.
