Package        : pcal
Vulnerability  : buffer overflows
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2004-1289

Danny Lungstrom discovered two buffer overflows in pcal, a program to
generate Postscript calendars, that could lead to the execution of
arbitrary code when compiling a calendar.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 4.7-8woody1.

version 4.8.0-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your pcal package.
