September 28th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : zsync
Vulnerability : DOS
Problem-Type : buffer overflow
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-1849, CAN-2005-2096
zsync, a file transfer program, includes a modified local copy of
the zlib library, and is vulnerable to certain bugs fixed previously
in the zlib package.
There was a build error for the sarge i386 proftpd packages released in
DSA 797-1. A new build, zsync_0.3.3-1.sarge.1.2, has been prepared to
correct this error. The packages for other architectures are unaffected.
