Package: cgminer Severity: important Tags: security Hi,
the following vulnerability was published for cgminer. CVE-2014-6251[0]: | Stack-based buffer overflow in CPUMiner before 2.4.1 allows remote | attackers to have an unspecified impact by sending a mining.subscribe | response with a large nonce2 length, then triggering the overflow with | a mining.notify request. Details are sparse, and note that the report is about cpuminer rather than cgminer, but since the two share a lot of code, I couldn't easily rule out cgminer being affected, so some research needs to be done. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry. For further information see: [0] https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2014-6251 Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
