Package: bird
Version: 1.0.4-8
Severity: normal

Hello,

BIRD has some buffer overflows in its handling of command line arguments. 
The overflow doesn't seem to have any security impact. They just cause 
crashes, which is bad enough.

Here's a session capture showing one of the bugs in action:

$ birdc -s `perl -e 'print "J" x 307;'`
Segmentation fault
