Package        : libnids
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2003-0850

A vulnerability was discovered in libnids, a library used to analyze
IP network traffic, whereby a carefully crafted TCP datagram could
cause memory corruption and potentially execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user executing a program which uses libnids
(such as dsniff).

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 1.16-3woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your libnids package.
