Description:
Steven Van Acker has reported a vulnerability in Pound, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the "add_port()" function and can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by supplying an overly long hostname.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.8.2. Prior versions may also be affected.
