Package        : nd
Vulnerability  : buffer overflows
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2004-0014

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in nd, a command-line WebDAV
interface, whereby long strings received from the remote server could
overflow fixed-length buffers.  This vulnerability could be exploited
by a remote attacker in control of a malicious WebDAV server to
execute arbitrary code if the server was accessed by a vulnerable
version of nd.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 0.5.0-1woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.8.2-1.

We recommend that you update your nd package.
