Description Murray McAllister 2014-04-22 05:07:46 UTC

A flaw was found in the way GNUstep's gdomap (GNUstep Distributed Objects nameserver) handled logging. A remote attacker could send a crafted request to gdomap that would cause gdomap to abort. This issue affects version 1.24.6 and earlier versions.

Upstream bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41751
Upstream patch: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gnustep/libs/base/trunk/Tools/gdomap.c?r1=37756&r2=37755&pathrev=37756
