Problem Description There are several format string coding bugs as well as unsecure open() calls in the inn program. 2. Vulnerable Supported Versions System Package ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to inn-2.2.3-13.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to inn-2.2.3-13.i386.rpm 3.
