Description:
Ubuntu has issued an update for pan. This fixes a vulnerability, 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 PartsBatch class when processing certain NZB files. This may be exploited to cause a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code by e.g. tricking a user into opening a specially crafted NZB file.
