38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
Stefan Esser discovered a vulnerability in the code of the neon library |
41 |
(GLSA 200405-13): if a malicious date string is passed to the |
42 |
ne_rfc1036_parse() function, it can trigger a string overflow into |
43 |
static heap variables. tla includes it's own version of the library. |
44 |
|
45 |
Impact |
46 |
====== |
47 |
|
48 |
When connected to a malicious WebDAV server, this vulnerability could |
49 |
allow execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running |
50 |
tla. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
