Debian 3.0: DSA 224-1 Critical: Canna Buffer Overflow and DoS Threats

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in canna, a Japanese
input system. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project
identified the following vulnerabilities:

* CAN-2002-1158 (BugTraq Id 6351): "hsj" of Shadow Penguin Security
discovered a heap overflow vulnerability in the irw_through
function in canna server.

* CAN-2002-1159 (BugTraq Id 6354): Shinra Aida of the Canna project
discovered that canna does not properly validate requests, which
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or information
leak.

For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have been
fixed in version 3.5b2-46.2.

For the old stable distribution (potato) these problems have been
fixed in version 3.5b2-25.2.
