Package        : neon
Vulnerability  : format string
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2004-0179

Multiple format string vulnerabilities were discovered in neon, an
HTTP and WebDAV client library.  These vulnerabilities could
potentially be exploited by a malicious WebDAV server to execute
arbitrary code with the privileges of the process using libneon.

For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have been
fixed in version 0.19.3-2woody3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.24.5-1.

We recommend that you update your neon package.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
