Package        : pavuk
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2004-0456

Ulf Härnhammar discovered a vulnerability in pavuk, a file retrieval
program, whereby an oversized HTTP 305 response sent by a malicious
server could cause arbitrary code to be executed with the privileges
of the pavuk process.

For the current stable distribution (woody), this problem has been
fixed in version 0.9pl28-1woody1.

pavuk is no longer included in the unstable distribution of Debian.

We recommend that you update your pavuk package.
