Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

for all cases. This can lead to an overflow of a static heap
variable.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.18.0-1woody3.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.22.1-3.
We recommend that you upgrade your cadaver package.
