CVE-2005-1911  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 leafnode to version 1.11.3.rel-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream leafnode package and not the leafnode package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The fetchnews NNTP client in leafnode 1.11.2 and earlier can hang while waiting for input that never arrives, which allows remote NNTP servers to cause a denial of service (news loss).
