The GNU GNATS Development Team has released a new version of GNATS, the Problem Report Management System. This release, 4.0.1 is a patch release to address a potential security vulnerability with string formatting in gnats/misc.c that was described in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnats/2004-06/msg00028.html http://www.zone-h.org/advisories/read/id=4889 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0623 http://www.debian.org/security/2004/dsa-590 Additional string formatting fixes were applied to avoid buffer overflows in constructing formatted date strings.
