Description: Debian has issued an update for newsx. This fixes a vulnerability, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "read_article()" function in src/getarticle.c. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted NNTP packet.
