Bug vulnerability classBuffer Overflow
Bug descriptionThe remote host is running INN prior 2.2.2. There are some bugs which makes it vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks. An attacker may use corrupt news messages to start denial of service attacks or perhaps to run arbitrary code in the context of the server.
Bug solutionYou should upgrade to version 2.2.2 or higher. S.u.S.E. has released updated RPMs for S.u.S.E. 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3. Change the application banner of the affected news server to make it harder to run pre-defined and automated attacks against the vulnerability. Also limit unwanted connections and communications with firewalling if possible.
