Description:
Stefan Esser has discovered a vulnerability in neon, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "ne_rfc1036_parse()" function when parsing date strings. This can be exploited to cause a heap overflow by supplying a specially crafted date string.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code via applications linked against neon and using the vulnerable functionality.
The vulnerability affects version 0.24.5 and prior.
