Description:
Gentoo has issued an update for gnocatan. This fixes several vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) on a vulnerable system or potentially compromise it.
The vulnerabilities are all caused due to boundary errors. These can be exploited to cause buffer overflows, which potentially allow execution of arbitrary code on a system running a vulnerable version of gnocatan server.
