There is a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the neon library
used in cadaver, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary code when
connected to a malicious server.

Background
=========
cadaver is a command-line WebDAV client.

Affected packages

Description
==========
Stefan Esser discovered a vulnerability in the code of the neon library
(see GLSA 200405-13). This library is also included in cadaver.

Impact
