Subject: Libnids <= 1.17 buffer overflow
Hello,
Libnids is a library which implements the functionality of NIDS
E-component. Libnids provides IP defragmentation, TCP stream reassembly and
port scan detection.
Robert Watson <rwatson@...eBSD.org> has found a bug in the part of
libnids code responsible for TCP reassembly. The flaw probably allows for
remote code execution. This vulnerability has been assigned a CVE name
CAN-2003-0850.
Applications not using libnids tcp reassembly (like scanlogd) are not
vulnerable; others, like dsniff, are potentially vulnerable.
All libnids versions <= 1.17 are vulnerable. Libnids 1.18, which fixes
this issue, is available at http://libnids.sourceforge.net.
Save yourself,
Nergal
