Pavuk Remote Digest Authentication Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

It has been reported that Pavuk is affected by a remote digest authentication buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to validate string lengths when copying user-supplied data into finite buffers in process memory.

Ultimately a remote malicious web site may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code on the affected computer with the privileges of the user who started the affected application.
