Package : gopher
Vulnerability : several
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-0560 CAN-2004-0561
"jaguar" has discovered two security relevant problems in gopherd, the
Gopher server in Debian which is part of the gopher package. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
vulnerabilities:
CAN-2004-0560
An integer overflow can happen when posting content of a specially
calculated size.
CAN-2004-0561
A format string vulnerability has been found in the log routine.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
