Vulnerability Assessment Summary

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Tavis Ormandy discovered a buffer overflow in prozilla, a
multi-threaded download accelerator, which may be exploited to execute
arbitrary code.
For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.3.6-3woody3.
The stable distribution (sarge) does not contain prozilla packages.
The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain prozilla packages.
We recommend that you upgrade your prozilla package.
