Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in the ldif_get_line function in ldif.c of Sylpheed before 2.1.6 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code by having local users import LDIF files with long lines.

Kurt Fitzner discovered that the NBD (network block device) server did not correctly verify the maximum size of request packets. By sending specially crafted large request packets, a remote attacker who is allowed to access the server could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
