Package        : cadaver
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2004-0398

Stefan Esser discovered a problem in neon, an HTTP and WebDAV client
library, which is also present in cadaver, a command-line client for
WebDAV server.  User input is copied into variables not large enough
for all cases.  This can lead to an overflow of a static heap
variable.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.18.0-1woody3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.22.1-3.

We recommend that you upgrade your cadaver package.
