How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable dibbler to version 0.6.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Dibbler 0.6.0 does not verify that certain length parameters are appropriate for buffer sizes, which allows remote attackers to trigger a buffer over-read and cause a denial of service (daemon crash), as demonstrated by incorrect behavior of the TSrvMsg constructor in SrvMessages/SrvMsg.cpp when (1) reading the option code and option length and (2) parsing options.
