Vulnerability  : format string problems
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2005-0523
BugTraq ID     : 12635

Several format string problems have been discovered in prozilla, a
multi-threaded download accelerator, that can be exploited by a
malicious server to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user
running prozilla.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3.6-3woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.3.7.4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your prozilla package.
