    Package : node
    Vulnerability : buffer overflow, format string
    Problem-Type : remote
    Debian-specific: no

    Morgan alias SM6TKY discovered and fixed several security related
    problems in LinuxNode, an Amateur Packet Radio Node program. The
    buffer overflow he discovered can be used to gain unauthorised root
    access and can be remotely triggered.

    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
    fixed in version 0.3.0a-2woody1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.3.2-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your node packages immediately.
