This buffer is created on the heap, so it is not protected from overflows by the StackGuard compiler (more information detailing the overflows that StackGuard does protect against can be found at http://immunix.org/stackguard.html ) This overflow can occur by creating a very long header in a news message. Some messages that can cause the slrn news reader to crash have been detected in the wild, but no exploits are currently known at this time. Immunix 7.0 does not install the slrn packages by default but provides them in the extras/unsupported directory so they do not need to be upgraded unless they have been installed manually by the system administrator. Packages have been created and released that fix these problems.
