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.
