Debian Security Advisory DSA 687-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
February 18th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq

Package : bidwatcher
Vulnerability : format string
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-0158
Ulf H舐nhammar from the Debian Security Audit Project discovered a
format string vulnerability in bidwatcher, a tool for watching and
bidding on eBay auctions. This problem can be triggered remotely by a
web server of eBay, or someone pretending to be eBay, sending certain
data back. As of version 1.3.17 the program uses cURL and is not
vulnerable anymore.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.3.3-1woody1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your bidwatcher package.
