Hi,
I would like to ask for permission to upload a new atftpd
package 0.7.git20120829-3.3+deb11u1 to fix #994895, buffer
overflow, CVE-2021-41054.
[ Reason ]
Fix a CVE (no DSA)
[ Impact ]
atftpd can be crashed by sending a crafted, but trivial request.
[ Tests ]
I manually tested that the buffer overflow happens in the current
package and is fixed in the new package.
[ Risks ]
very small
[ Checklist ]
[X] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[X] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[X] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
The patch checks the length of the options of the request and
throws an error if the buffer is too small.
