    Package        : radiusd-cistron
    Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
    Problem-Type   : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    
    radiusd-cistron contains a bug allowing a buffer overflow when a long
    NAS-Port attribute is received.  This could allow a remote attacker to
    execute arbitrary code on the with the privileges of the RADIUS daemon
    (usually root).
    
    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.6.6-1woody1.
    
    For the old stable distribution (potato), this problem will be fixed
    in a later advisory.
    
    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
    
    We recommend that you update your radiusd-cistron package.
