Debian neon Critical Format String Remote Exec Vulnerability DSA 487-1

Multiple format string vulnerabilities were discovered in neon, an
HTTP and WebDAV client library. These vulnerabilities could
potentially be exploited by a malicious WebDAV server to execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the process using libneon.

For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have been
fixed in version 0.19.3-2woody3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.24.5-1.

We recommend that you update your neon package.
