Description Mark J. Cox 2004-05-05 08:35:51 UTC
Stefan Esser discovered a flaw in the neon library which allows a heap
buffer overflow in a date parsing routine.  An attacker could create
a malicious WebDAV server in such a way as to allow arbitrary code
execution on the client should a user connect to it using cadaver.  

         CAN-2004-0398 Affects: 2.1AS 2.1ES 2.1AW 2.1WS
