Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2004:191 0 high SHIPPED_LIVE Important: cadaver security update 2004-05-19 04:00:00 UTC

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.
